As people’s lifestyles are becoming more fluid and we’re moving more smoothly between our numerous social roles and activities, so are our demands towards consumer properties. Therefore the lines between retail, hospitality, entertainment, travel or even healthcare are continuously blurring. As properties are increasingly representative of the fluid and holistic nature of human psyche, consumer brands and property developers need to lead this natural progression of build environments.

With growing focus on well-being and return to nature, including biomimicry and biophilic design, how can we ensure this is implemeted at every stage of design and development, from town planning to resultant customer exprience?

With increase in mental health issues and social isolation, with technology often contributing to them, how can we ensure that community and social spaces, which consumer properties are, will foster social interactions, positive mental states and eventually lead to healthier and more productive societies?

As technology is becoming every day a more integral part of human lives, how can we ensure it is seamlessly implemeted into consumer properties without having negative effects on customer experience and human well-being?

Will this changing shape and role of consumer properties mean changes to business models for consumer brands and property developers and what signs of it can we already see?

These are the questions Kate Nightingale will ask the panel of experts and you, the attendees, so we can hopefully come out with ideas on how to design a better future. Meet our experts.
