OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR SAFETY

We have experienced the enthusiasm of returning to live in-person events this year, having safely and successfully hosted more than 10,000 executives to date. While we are thrilled to convene together to propel growth within CRE, COVID-19 remains a worldwide concern and Bisnow is committed to practicing safe protocols at our events. You can expect the following:

 

  • Facial coverings will be required by all staff & attendees, regardless of vaccination status. Masks will be made available at the door.
  • Temperature checks will be conducted at entry.
  • Contact tracing procedures will be employed for any reported exposure.
  • Socially distanced seating will be available in the main event space.
  • Enhanced sanitization protocols will be adhered to throughout the event space including regularly disinfecting surfaces throughout the event and hand sanitizer provided to all attendees.

 

As local regulations and guidance evolve, the CRE industry continues to lead the way forward. As such, we will gather safely to do what we do best: network, connect, and engage to do more business. We look forward to hosting you soon.

Bisnow 2021 Holiday Schmooze!

Why This Matters

After a year of significant transition — from virtual back to live, with a few more webinars in between — Bisnow DC only thought it appropriate to make our last event of the year our BEST by treating our attendees to a Holiday Cocktail! Join your friends at Bisnow, as well as DC's top developers, thought leaders and influencers for an open bar and great food. More details to come!  

 

What You'll Learn: 

  • From the pandemic to WFH, we are seeing less desire of returning back to the office. What types of incentives are being put in place? Are there certain amenities/trends being implemented?
  • The Future of Flex Offices: The demand for flex office space increased by 41% between Q1 and Q2 of 2021. How will leasing coworking offices change throughout 2022? Will there be more development/redevelopment for coworking spaces? What neighborhoods can we expect to see them pop up in?
  • Post-Pandemic Development Strategies: From downsizing offices to vacant buildings, how will developers pivot and reuse these buildings? What asset classes will we see more and less of? Where will we see development projects as people move out of the urban center?
  • "The New Normal": Covid-19 has made its mark, shifting almost everything when it comes to employee safety. What are the protocols companies are making to ensure safety for the employees as we return to the office? What are the trends that have been developed in this era that will permanently stay?
  • What new projects and developments are we seeing now, and what can we expect to see in 2022?

 

How You'll Do More Business: As the office market has been put into this unknown spiral for the past several months, we are starting to see big changes happening nationwide to lure everyone back in. With a 68% decrease in office sales for 2021, the office industry now has its chance to redeem itself by innovating and strategizing its 2022 goals. From new trends and amenities to repositioning and redevelopment, join us and learn how DC's office market is improving and expanding. 

   

Who You’ll Meet: The Greater D.C. region’s top office brokers, owners, property managers, hottest tenants, and more.
