The conversation brought together an amazing group of industry leaders and shed light on some of the most important sustainability topics shaping our industry today — including the rise of data centers, nuclear energy, sustainable building materials, and the importance of aligning teams early in the development process.

A special thank you to our moderator and esteemed panelists for sharing their expertise and experiences:
• Victoria Brinemugha — Senior Engineering Program Manager, Amazon
• Carla Walker-Miller — Founder & CEO, Walker-Miller Energy Services
• Kurt Brauer — Partner, Warner Norcross + Judd
• Najahyia Chinchilla — Design Director & Sustainability Specialist, Gensler
• Ron Henry — Executive Director of Facilities Planning and Operations for Michigan Medicine, University of Michigan Health

Looking forward to continuing these conversations and helping shape the next chapter of sustainable development in commercial real estate.
