Last week, Kjersten Jaeb, BOMA International Chair & Chief Elected Officer, joined industry leaders in Sun City, South Africa to celebrate SAPOA's 60th anniversary and explore the trends shaping commercial real estate around the world.
During the convention, Kjersten connected with Neil Gopal, CEO of SAPOA, to discuss the opportunities and challenges influencing the future of the built environment across global markets. She also had the privilege of presenting Kevin Roman with SAPOA's first-ever President's Award, honoring his exceptional leadership and contributions to the industry. Another meaningful moment was meeting Modimo-Oratile Motswiane, a recipient of the SAPOA Bursary Fund, recognizing the next generation of leaders who will help drive the industry forward.
A highlight of the event was "Drivers of the Industry," a fireside chat moderated by CNN International's Richard Quest, where Kjersten joined an esteemed panel of international peers to discuss the forces transforming commercial real estate and what lies ahead for the industry.
