  • How reshoring and nearshoring are influencing logistics strategy, distribution center site selection, and facility design.
  • Evaluating power risk during underwriting, navigating long lead times for infrastructure upgrades, and positioning projects for the next generation of users.
  • Recent legislation and how it influences site selection, capital flows and project economics across logistics, manufacturing and data center markets.
  • Why IOS is attracting growing investor interest, how operators are scaling portfolios, and the growing convergence between IOS, small-bay industrial and logistics infrastructure.
  • Strategies to future-proof industrial portfolios amid growing sustainability expectations and carbon reduction goals, and much more.
