As the office sector enters a new phase shaped by hybrid work, talent competition, and evolving tenant expectations, the summit will move beyond theory to focus on real-world strategies that are delivering measurable results. The program will examine how office buildings are being reimagined as experience-driven destinations that support productivity, collaboration, culture, and long-term asset value.
Boston Real Estate Times also announced the first speaker for the March summit: Reetika Vijay, Managing Principal of IA’s Boston studio and a widely respected leader in workplace strategy and human-centered design.
As Managing Principal, Vijay’s leadership has played a central role in shaping IA Boston’s culture and strategic growth. Her approach has directly contributed to IA’s recognition as one of Boston’s Best Places to Work, reflecting her commitment to fostering environments rooted in creativity, accountability, and continuous improvement—qualities increasingly essential to the modern office experience.
“The office conversation has fundamentally changed,” said Upendra Mishra, Publisher of Boston Real Estate Times and Boston Life Sciences Times. “In 2026, the question is no longer whether offices matter—it’s how they perform, how they inspire people to come in, and how they create long-term value for owners and tenants. This summit will focus on what actually works, and we are incredibly excited about the caliber of speakers who will be joining us.”
Mishra added, “Reetika Vijay sets the tone for what will be an outstanding and thought-provoking program. We are finalizing a truly great lineup of speakers—developers, owners, designers, and workplace strategists—whose names will be announced very soon. This will be one of our most relevant and dynamic summits yet.”
