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

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.
