But now it’s time to put it back together. As the world seeks to realign and define the new normal, corporate real estate (CRE), the businesses they serve, and their customers, are looking for answers to how we all fit together.

As leaders who are at the forefront, seeking and implementing answers to these questions, you have the knowledge and the expertise to lead the charge and define the future.
