Main Day One - Tuesday, February 24, 2026

9:30 AM Opening Keynote - From Cost Center to Value Creator: Redefining the Workplace

Workplace strategy is no longer just about space and operations—it’s about creating measurable value for the organization. Today’s challenges, from high rents to underutilized offices and the pushback around return-to-office policies, demand a new way of thinking. Leaders must design workplaces and systems that go beyond cost-cutting, establishing structures that improve efficiency, strengthen accountability, and deliver cultural as well as financial impact.
This discussion explores how to put value at the center of workplace strategy. From reshaping vendor management to align with organizational goals, to optimizing space usage without undermining employee experience, the focus is on building frameworks that stand up to economic pressure while supporting long-term performance.
Discussion Points:
How structured vendor management creates control, accountability, and measurable value across operations
Strategies to maximize space utilization while balancing cost pressures with cultural and employee needs
Turning workplace challenges—such as RTO resistance and rising rents—into opportunities for innovation and resilience
