Commercial real estate has become far more than a question of space. In today's environment of continual economic disruption, geopolitical uncertainty and accelerating technological change, it has become a strategic lever that influences business performance, capital allocation, talent strategy and long-term resilience.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Brad Kreiger and Rebecca Rockey will explore how leading organizations are adapting their real estate strategies to a rapidly changing world. Drawing on Cushman & Wakefield's work with many of the world's largest occupiers, investors and developers, they will discuss:

• Why commercial real estate has become an increasingly important boardroom issue, and what executives should be prioritizing today.

• How organizations are aligning real estate decisions with financial performance, workforce strategy, and long-term business objectives.

• The capital markets trends, economic signals, and risk factors shaping commercial real estate decisions in today's environment.

• How AI is already influencing demand across sectors, where its impact is proving most durable, and the leading indicators that business leaders should be watching.

• How AI is transforming the advisory profession, enabling faster, more informed decision-making while reinforcing the value of trusted human expertise.

• The leadership lessons that have proven most valuable in navigating an increasingly unpredictable business landscape.

The discussion will conclude with an audience Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to explore the issues most relevant to their organizations and industries.
