Day 2 – Friday 13 Sept
Rethinking Facilities Management
With the world now transitioned from a post-Covid reality, locally, Hong Kong has drawn increasing attention to our relationship with and time spent in commercial, residential, community and public spaces. Companies have since started bringing into conversation how business strategies and practices should be redefined for more environment and social-oriented initiatives, as well as the integration of innovation to enable more tech-efficient use of space. Rethinking Facilities Management will advise on what this could mean for offices of the future, procurement and a new vision for sustainable facilities management.
