Immersive Workplace Interactions
 
This year’s CIC Young Professionals Session will involve participation from the whole group to discuss topical issues in a fun and collaborative format. We will break the ice by creating a young professional’s mission statement through group Ad Lib submissions to be read aloud at the end of the session. We will then go into speed networking to discuss industry trends and compete in a Team SHFM “Family Feud style format” to test industry knowledge. The final activity will be a group discussion to share best practices on how to market yourself in such a competitive industry and for future workplace opportunities. This session should be interactive, informative and a fun jump start a great CIC conference.

  • With the workforce still in flux, how should we be transforming real estate footprints?
  • What amenities and programs are most successful for clients and their employees today?
