2022 & Beyond - Technology's Impact on Shaping the Built World
Future of Retail in the Robot Age
The AnyPlace WorkPlace
The workplace is evolving. It is no longer a fixed location of workstations, meeting rooms and private offices. Instead, today’s workplace is about both bricks and bytes, where the physical space has converged with cyberspace. During her energetic keynote presentation, Nikki will present her original insights on what workplace means today, in the Age of the Cloud. She will challenge the audience to question the rationale of traditional 9-5 work policies that precede the internet, and present the approach to hybrid-work being taken by future-forward technology companies across the globe to engage digital native Gen-Z and Millennial employees. And most importantly, Nikki will challenge leaders to be bold enough to take steps to challenge the status-quo, and create the conditions for their employees to do their best work.
BUILDING A BETTER FUTURE
How do we design places today to meet the needs of tomorrow?

The rate of change in technology is advancing at a rapid rate and yet we continue to deliver places exactly the same way as they always have been. During this talk, the impact of innovative ways of using spaces such as co-working, co-living and ghost kitchens are discussed alongside the disruptive technologies of drones, autonomous cars and service robots.

A NEW REALITY FOR REALTY
In 2019, Gen-Z (born 1996-2010) became the largest population group globally. As the first generation to not know a world without the internet, the way that they interact with the world is unique in that they blur the boundary between digital and in-person realities. Gen-Z view products as services and expect a personalized experience from brands. They also turn to social media to search for information and trust reviews over advertising. A New Reality for Realty, explores how Gen-Z’s attitudes and expectations are disrupting the way that real estate is designed and operated, to ensure that what is delivered today will meet the needs of tomorrow.

The audience is encouraged to interact with one another to discuss and explore what the future that we image might be like.
