CV19 has impacted virtually every aspect of human life, and some industries have been more affected than others. It has certainly meant things have to be done differently. How has CV19 affected the world of CPO?

Under the chairmanship of Henry Church, Senior Director of CBRE, we will have short presentations from all speakers on issues arising from CV19. A discussion will follow exploring those issues in more detail.
