HYB 2023 THEME - THE UNCERTAINTY NEW NORMAL
Based on reading recent market and sentiment reports, 2022 will certainly be remembered as the post-covid comeback year for our industry. Although occupancy and price levels seem to be back at 2019 levels, the industry is facing, yet again, a range of new challenges and uncertain market conditions which will impact and change the industry in 2023 and beyond.
HYB 2023 - WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
The easiest way to ensure that your article will be a perfect fit with our editorial concept is to imagine that it could be entitled "Three Scenarios We may see in XYZ in the Next X Year(s)" (where "XYZ" is the agreed theme of your contribution, e.g. "Human Capital" or "Real Estate", etc.) A good way to have a look at what your article can look like is by having a look at one of HYB's previous publications
Please follow these simple guidelines:
BEFORE YOU START WRITING
Before starting to write your contribution, please let us know 1) the selected topic/theme, author details, as well as your expected article delivery date.

Our readers want to know where we are heading. Nobody has a crystal ball, but how do YOU think things will develop in your specific area of interest and expertise? Can you explain why you are expecting changes? What factors will be influential in shaping the future?
