At VTS Accelerate 2019, our VTS Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer Ryan Masiello moderated this panel with best-in-class landlords and commercial real estate technology companies for insights into how these players are keeping up with the phenomenal rise of flexible leasing. The panelists included:

• Bryan Koop, Executive Vice President, Boston Properties
• James Lowery, Co-Head Storey, British Land
• Jamie Hodari, CEO, Industrious
• Ryan Simonetti, CEO, Convene
• Thais Galli, Managing Director, Tishman Speyer

Starting from the landlord's perspective, Ryan dug in with Bryan Koop and Thais Galli to get a sense of how Boston Properties and Tishman Speyer made the decision to get into flex space and coworking offerings as well as how these spaces have evolved since they started. Moving onto the flexible workspace companies, Industrious and Convene, Ryan asked them to share whether they believe the rapid growth of flexible office space is sustainable.
