The country’s top real estate platform Lamudi Philippines will premiere its newest Roundtable Series on November 17, 2023, at Conrad Manila, Pasay City. The first in-person discussion in the series will focus on design trends and forecasts for business spaces. It is co-presented by IKEA for Business, the Swedish home furnishing brand’s interior planning and product installation service arm for business customers.
The Lamudi Roundtable Series is a set of discussions that revolve around timely and relevant themes in the Philippine real estate industry. Titled “Redesigning Business Spaces for a More Sustainable Future,” the inaugural Lamudi Roundtable is set to put a spotlight on innovative approaches to reshaping business environments.
Key experts in space planning, sustainability initiatives, and modern business models will convene and engage in a dynamic discussion on enhancing customer connections while also touching upon sustainable efforts. Panelists include IKEA for Business Country Head Mari Gomez, Council of Interior Design Educators President Raquel Florendo, and Director for Business Development for Corporate Offices of KMC Savills Michelle Amarnani. PDP Architects Founder, President, and CEO Cathy Saldaña will moderate the panel discussion.
The Country’s Commitment to a Sustainable Society
The Philippines is steadfast in its commitment to transforming how various industries conduct business with their clients using conscious materials, tools, and services. It is gearing towards greener cities and communities in the post-pandemic era.
As a testament to this commitment, the US Green Building Council’s (USGBC) annual list of Top 10 Countries and Regions for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) placed the Philippines in the 10th spot for the most LEED-certified space in 2022 outside of the United States.
By becoming part of the upcoming Lamudi Roundtable Series, business owners and entrepreneurs can discover how to revolutionize their spaces, create a perfect balance between sustainability and customer delight, and learn about design trends post-pandemic.
An Optimistic Post-pandemic Period for Entrepreneurs
During the pandemic, in-person activities were minimized, staff had to be reduced, and revenue was low. These setbacks forced businesses to maximize their available resources.
Boutique hotels and developers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and food and beverage companies had to adapt by incorporating functional, cost-effective, and ecological materials and furniture within establishments to cultivate immersive customer interactions.
Entrepreneurs in attendance at the Lamudi Roundtable will acquire beneficial information from industry experts on how to keep their businesses afloat moving forward.
A Discussion on Advancing the Philippine Commercial Industry
As the leading real estate platform in the Philippines, Lamudi is dedicated to making property transactions easy and more trustworthy. The property platform teamed up with IKEA as one of their co-presenters in the successful three-day Lamudi Property Fair last July 2023. Now, Lamudi is teaming up with IKEA for Business to further bolster the commercial sector and guide entrepreneurs toward a sustainable future.
IKEA for Business helps companies of all sizes make their ideal place of business a reality. Their mission and goal is to provide furnishing solutions that are functional, sustainable, and Scandinavian-inspired.
This Lamudi Roundtable event, made possible by IKEA for Business, aims to further advance the framework of Philippine businesses to become globally competitive by supporting entrepreneurs at the grassroots level.
