At the beginning of October we held our first in-person Global Summit in over two years. The Summit exemplified the global nature of our partnership, as we welcomed representatives of partner firms from around the world, including Australia, Canada, Sweden, UK and the US.

External speakers

We had the opportunity to hear from an incredible line-up of speakers throughout the three-day summit. Industry leaders, such as Colin Connolly, President and CEO at Cousins and Kent Mason, SVP and Market Officer for Prologis who talked about the international outlook on logistics real estate from a supply and demand perspective.

Director of Talent Acquisition at OneDigital, Robin Malmanger talked about the dramatic shifts in the labour market and what employers can do to ensure they retain people and plan appropriately. While Brad Stevens, Founder & CEO at Outsource Access, presented on ‘Efficiencies in Business Operations and Leveraging to Scale‘.

Round tables and panels

Our Exis Global Summit is all about making connections and exchanging knowledge. We heard each of our representatives give a market update on their location and held a round-table on latest developments in the industry and marketing.

Street Jones – Vice President and Principal at Rich Commercial Realty and Exis representative for Raleigh, North Carolina – gave us an overview of how to leverage client reviews to promote the success of your company.

Our Young Professionals Panel welcomed young professionals (YPs) from America, Australia and Europe who led a panel discussion about being a young professional in the industry. They offered their unique perspective from different regions and discussed how to help YPs succeed and how to succeed as a YP in their role and market.

Real estate tour

Our Atlanta hosts, Wildmor Advisors, took us on a tour of the Battery – home to Atlanta Braves and a successful two-million-square-foot mixed-use development in Atlanta. The development – in addition to featuring some of the city’s most diverse brands, exciting restaurants and a 4,000 seat music venue – is home to headquarters of TKE and Papa John’s Pizza and regional headquarters for Comcast.

Overall we had a busy and successful summit, where our partners were able to reconnect in person, share best practices and share ideas on how to leverage the Exis platform to offer an even better service to their clients.

We look forward to welcoming our Exis partner firms at the Global Summit 2023 in Toronto!
