In this volatile and uncertain economy our most valuable assets are, undoubtedly, our people. We therefore, as CRE professionals, need to understand what our current and future “customers” demand from their workplace, in order to support each and every one of them in achieving high performance. In this interactive evening forum, Professor Jeremy Myerson, Helen Hamlyn Chair of Design at the Royal College of Art, will facilitate a lively discussion with workplace users drawn from different generations on what inspires, motivates, and frustrates them about their place of work and discuss their ideas for the future.

We will round off the evening with an eye opening tour of Google’s new office at Central St Giles and a drinks reception hosted by Joe Borrett, Head of Real Estate & Construction, EMEA, Google.

CoreNet Global UK Chapter members had some sporting fun to get in the mood for the Olympics and help raise money for LandAid, the property industry's charity of choice. The UK Chapter’s Young Leaders hosted a softball tournament in Regents Park. After the game, they retired to a local pub garden to watch a screening of the Opening Ceremony.

• YLs raised £1,180 for LandAid, breaking through our target of £1,000
• Money raised went towards vital resources to keep the Bruce House centre running, which provides support for disadvantaged young people and houses up to 49 people
• The YL team spent the day painting 2 rooms in the hostel, in lovely salad green & bubblegum pink colours!
• Everyone involved had a great time and demonstrated CoreNet’s commitment to the LandAid charity and young people both within and outside the property industry
• We hope to repeat the Charity event next year – perhaps moving on to a more challenging event. Watch this space!

Subject: Cloud Computing for Commercial Property
Recording: To listen to the recording, please click here

In this talk we will explain what Cloud Computing actually is and why it will lead to a fundamental shift in how one works, and where work takes place. We will cover questions about security of data and provide guidance on global issues around data jurisdiction. We will explain how you can take advantage of the Cloud and the types of services most likely to migrate to the Cloud. Key to our talk will be explaining the benefits of the Cloud and how the real benefits are not those you’ve most likely already heard about. In five years time no-one will talk about the Cloud BUT your industry and the way you work will be utterly transformed. In this talk we’ll show you how.

Venue: Westfield Stratford City, Stratford, London, E20 1EJ

UK Chapter Young Leaders first event open to all members ...

Stratford City regeneration: sprint or marathon? From the outset, the legacy of the Stratford area and improving the lives of those who live in it has been a central theme of London’s 2012 bid. Post-Olympics, the site will boast the largest urban park in Europe and will be one of the best connected areas, from both a transport and technology standpoint, in London. With over 2 million sq ft of office space expected to be constructed before the Games, Stratford is also aiming to become London’s newest office location.

Will the investment in the 2012 site and regeneration of the surrounding Stratford area ensure that it becomes a key location for businesses? Will occupiers be tempted away from established locations such as Canary Wharf and the West End? Come and join our breakfast forum to hear lively debate from our expert panel, including panellists from Newham Borough Council and Westfield.
