• The total impact of the pandemic is yet to be seen. However, we can already now see signs on new requirements on housing, offices, public buildings (schools, hospitals). We are looking for more space at home for work and studies, people who can will most probably continue to work from home. Offices and schools will need to consider how to increase distance between workspaces, meeting rooms and areas for socialisation.
• Now we see projects starting to realize that were planned prior to the pandemic, will that change how they are being concluded and what will that mean in practice?
• How will our cities develop? Will urbanization slow down and what will smart cities mean in a post pandemic era?

• Our keynote speaker will interact with the panel on a couple of perspectives; how agile can you be in a project adapting to a new normal, how will/ can legislation speed up with new requirements meeting the demands on new safety measures, urbanization – what will happen, will more people move to smaller cities or is this just a temporary trend?

Panel participants:

• Andy Watts, Grimshaw
• Stefan Jeleby, HP
• Margaret Steiner, White

• Architects, engineers, contractors and other Industry peers request efficient tools and software as they are meeting increased demands on efficient deliveries. At the same time they want to focus on their profession, their core tasks, they have to adapt to industry’s digitalisation development and maturity.
• Our industry is essential to our lives but also our economy. At what extent can we drive innovation, new technologies and become more sustainable? Or will it be challenged by new players?
• Will the transformation accelerate? And what does it take from all us to be part of this change (sw, new tech, training / education / business models / legislations)

Our keynote speaker will discuss how we together can make the changes needed. How to address the importance and difficulties with changing business models while delivering on new requirements and legislations for sustainability.

Panel participants:

• Allison Scott, Autodesk
• Per Bjälnes, Tyréns
• Ana Matic, Scott Brownrigg

• Our industry has a unique opportunity to impact the environment for real. As an industry we can also impact from different perspectives, i.e. when sourcing materials, how to optimize supply chains and by reducing waste and at the same time lower carbon footprint. On site how to improve safety and working environment are also critical factors.
• The demands on sustainability are also clear both from customers and regulators. However, there are questions raised if the public is prepared to pay the price.
• What can be learned from companies that have made investments by creating organisations focusing on sustainability?

• From Global to Local - how do we prepare our cities for a flexible future?: Filippa Wieselgren, Bimfire Software
  As we might begin to see the end of the pandemic, we will have to ask us what this will mean. How will we live, work, and spend our leisure time – the answers to these questions will unfold in the years to come. What we can say however, is that the way we communicate and travel in our professional life will change. According to the Stockholm Hotel Report 2020, hotel guests in 2019 was made up of about 50% business travellers, a group of travellers that completely disappeared after February 2020. What if this group never comes back? In this session, we will investigate how our cities can use the new beginning in a post pandemic world to focus less on global travellers, and more on the changing needs and wishes of the local citizen.
