                     Economic and market radar: Global commercial real estate
                     The size of the Global Commercial Real Estate sector has grown annually from 2016 and
                     2021, but which markets are rebounding, and which asset classes are struggling? Is 2022 the
                     year for recovery to pre-pandemic levels? This session, delivered by RICS’ Chief Economist,

                      Despite being the largest global real estate market, offices were one of the hardest hit asset
10:00     14:00 18:00
                      classes from the pandemic. With pent-up demand and expected rises in employment
                      growth, the pre-covid demand is forecast to return by late 2022. But should the office
                      return? With new hybrid working models and full capacity returns still in discussion, how
                      does the office reshape and reconsider to offer a safe and engaging return for so many?

                       New green values: Sustainability and ESG influences on commercial property valuation
                       As commercial markets become more sensitised to sustainability matters, traditional
                       decision making and value drivers are becoming increasingly influenced by new green
                       interests. From the physical characteristics of buildings, impact of climate change on

                    The new look city centre: to redevelop or to repurpose existing commercial real estate?
                    Following the pandemic, some of the ways in which we have been operating are changed
                    forever and we are re-assessing the qualitative aspects of our surroundings. With city
12:40   16:40 20:40 centres around the world changing their functionality and purposes, the question remains
                    on whether converting empty retail space to residential is fit for human habitation. This
                    session will explore repurposing real estate case studies and our panellists will debate the
                    ultimate planning enigma.

                  Net zero carbon targets in commercial real estate – what’s informing the agenda, how is real
                  estate meeting those challenges and who will pay for it?
                  Of the world’s 2,000 largest public companies, at least one-fifth (21%) now have net zero
09:10 13:10 17:10
                  commitments (ECIU, 2021), but how should real estate organisations change traditional
                  operations, offset efficiently, and finance the pathway to net zero? This session explores what
                  sustainable real estate can contribute to a greener future, discusses stakeholder incentives and
                  how a collective footprint can bring new opportunities into the sector.

10:50 14:50 18:50       badly hit to rebound? The polarised change in shopping behaviour saw online sales go from

                        for retail real estate and how exactly does the sector attract a return to bag-in-hand shopping?
                        What do impacts like rising vacancy rates and retail rents really show us and what’s to come for

                      Global assets classes were shaken amidst the pandemic, but with a global economic rebound in
                      sight, where will investor attention be throughout 2022? Whilst the Americas are set for peak
                      GDP growth in 2021 and Europe and Middle East & Africa in 2022, is the attraction of higher
returns tempting investment back to the hardest hit asset classes, like hotels, or is the growth
                       of industrial and logistics, multifamily and data centres too significant to ignore? This session

                       strategies and value in a changing sector.

                    Improving performance - introducing the new RICS International Building Operations Standard
                    BuildingMinds, Microsoft and RICS have joined forces to introduce an “International Building
                    Performance & Data Standard”, consisting of the “International Building Operations Standard”
                    (IBOS). The new global standard will support organisations wishing to measure operational
12:30   16:30 20:30 performance of their property assets in a consistent manner – irrespective of the type of
                    property or its location. IBOS not only covers the key pillars of asset performance but also
                    addresses the significance of user experience - and in doing so reaches beyond the more
                    traditional technical aspects of operational performance that have become tried and tested
                    over many decades. Join us for first insight into how the new RICS global standard will support;
                    consistency, benchmarking and quality in the commercial real estate sector.

                         Investor’s insight - is it time to leverage change and reshape real estate strategies?
                         Global assets classes were shaken amidst the pandemic, but with a global economic
                         rebound in sight, where will investor attention be throughout 2022? Whilst Asia Pacific
  11:20    13:50   15:50 commercial property investment is said to be back at pre-pandemic volumes, is the
                         attraction of higher returns tempting investment back to the hardest hit asset classes,
                         like hotels, or is the growth of industrial and logistics, multifamily and data centres too
                         significant to ignore? This session hosts a panel of international investment professionals
                         and delivers their take on improving strategies and value in a changing sector.

                      New green values: Sustainability and ESG influences on commercial property valuation
                      As commercial markets become more sensitised to sustainability matters, traditional
                      decision making and value drivers are becoming increasingly influenced by new green
                      interests. From the physical characteristics of buildings, impact of climate change on

                      investment values. This session delivers leading insight into the upcoming related RICS

                      Rethinking real estate – has the pandemic brought an opportunity to bring new life to
                      commercial spaces?
                      Office and retail sectors still offer opportunities for investors targeting the region, but
13:00   15:30   17:30
                      fund managers will need to work harder to reinvent undervalued assets hit by the
                      pandemic. This session explores how reutilizing real estate space to stay ahead of
                      secular trends could contest occupier behavior changes and reinstate much needed
                      value to compete for investment and attracting new tenants.

                            Net zero carbon targets in commercial real estate – what’s informing the agenda, how is
                            real estate meeting those challenges and who will pay for it?
                            Of the world’s 2,000 largest public companies, at least one-fifth (21%) now have net zero
  09:20     11:50     13:50
                            commitments (ECIU, 2021), but how should real estate organisations change traditional
                            operations, offset efficiently, and finance the pathway to net zero? This session explores
                            what sustainable real estate can contribute to a greener future, discusses stakeholder
                            incentives and how a collective footprint can bring new opportunities into the sector.

                            Online or offline? Re-imagining retail real estate – can physical stores
                            evolve, survive and thrive?
                            With global crowd density precautions striking our high streets, have retail stores been
  11:20     13:50     15:50 too badly hit to rebound? The polarised change in shopping behaviour saw online sales
                            go from 13.6% (of all retail sales in 2019) to an expected 19.5% in 2021. What does the
                            challenge mean for retail real estate and how exactly does the sector attract a return to
                            bag-in-hand shopping? What do impacts like rising vacancy rates and retail rents really
                            show us and what’s to come for the sector in 2022 and beyond?

                            CRE tech – why the future is bright for digital ecosystems in commercial real estate
                            Real estate is one of the oldest and most established asset classes, however even the
  12:10     14:40     16:40
                            most stable assets need to innovate rather than simply rely on what has worked in the
                            past. The sector has been previously been criticised for being slow to adopt digital
                            solutions, but can new CRE technologies improve property management, building
performance and offer a safe and engaging return? This session brings tech to the table
                       and reviews how exactly it can deliver sustainability improvements, simply property

                      Green financing and green taxonomies – can sustainable financing accelerate a new
                      era of real estate developments?
                      With global and regional economies gearing up for a low carbon future, sustainable
                      finance bonds in Asia hit an all-time high of $544.3 billion in 2020 (The Asset, 2021),
13:00   15:30   17:30 more than doubling that of 2019. As the green influence continues to grow, landlords
                      and developers are now increasingly able to access green financing schemes, offering
                      benefits such as lower long-term borrowing costs. This session delivers expert insight
                      into the new wave of green investment, it’s viability and position within the future of
                      real estate investment and developments.
