Sustainability was the focus of a global summit attended by MovePlan in Chicago. Since March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic hit, our understanding of the world, how we live in it, how we work in it, and how we do business, were all pulled apart.

The future of the office and how we refine our framework for this were some of the questions discussed at MovePlan’s roundtable conference in the UK and Ireland. Participants enjoyed an insightful and honest discussion around the future of the office, with attendees sharing their own experiences from different industries.
