HOK’s Kay Sargent will join a panel discussion on The Intelligent Building Ecosystem at IFMA’s 2026 World Workplace Conference.
Drawing on global research and two decades of executive leadership across facility management, real estate strategy and workplace technology, this session addresses the dual transformation reshaping facilities management: the rise of the intelligent building and the human experience as facility management’s priority. Panelists will examine how hybrid work has permanently shifted the office’s purpose from individual productivity to a platform for culture, connection and belonging.
