IFMA Boston’s Thought Leaders host Open Mic Breakfast Session

IFMA Boston’s Thought Leaders had an Open Mic Breakfast Session on October 11th. The wide-ranging conversation touched on insights, experiences, challenges and even those “can you believe that happened” stories. We will be holding another Open Mic Event in the spring as there are still plenty of topics that the group wants to discuss.

Build For Change: A Tour of Pegasystem’s new space in Waltham, 225 Wyman St.

Come learn about and see Pega’s amazing new space in Waltham, designed at the beginning of the pandemic when they had no idea if people would come back to the office and what kind of spaces they would need if they did come! It’s a complicated real estate story with terrific workplace strategy, planning, consensus building, marketing, and design all rolled up into space that works for their employees and the company mission.

Pega now considers this space as a transformational project for the company, and it forms the basis of their world-wide planning for office space. Register online now.
