Business Pivot – Hosting Virtual Events and Meetings

As companies become more sensitive to coronavirus, taking precautions to keep employees safe from the spread of infection is essential. Businesses are quickly finding the need to provide alternatives to live events. Is it necessary to cancel all events or is it possible to host a virtual event?

This is the perfect time to pivot. Make sure your business has a back-up plan in place so that you can continue business as usual. Not only is this a timely response but should be a consideration for other unexpected circumstances such as weather, time & budget restrictions, or travel restrictions that may reduce in-person participation.

Video calls

Instead of piling into a conference room, you can easily hold internal meetings on a video call. Use apps such as Skype, RingCentral, Google Hangouts, Vonage or Microsoft Teams for phone and video calls. Boxer Property recently switched over to digital phone service and we haven’t looked back. If you have a microphone and web cam, you’re set to go!

Webinars

Offering a webinar opens your opportunities to the world! No more commutes to a customer’s office to give your sales pitch. You can reach the world digitally and gain customers all over the country or world, by presenting your products and services through a webinar. Put together some Powerpoint slides, or even just present on screen with a web cam and you’re able to cast a wider net and present to more than a few customers at a time. Solutions for presenting a webinar: Zoom, EverWebinar, GotoMeeting

Virtual Events

Ready to do more than talk through a Powerpoint? Step up to a Virtual event. These are normally hosted through an event platform and offer the options to interact in a virtual environment. These events are normally multi-session events that often feature webinars and webcasts, they feel a lot like a live event. These can be used for a variety of events from trade shows, job fairs, conferences, sales-meetings company-wide gatherings, training and more. These events can either be live-stream or on-demand. Top solutions include: vFairs, MegaMeeting, ClickMeeting

Whether it’s a temporary fix or keeping up with the direction of business, it’s something any business should consider. It also helps broaden your customer base, be sustainably more responsible and saves money on travel.

Tenant Spotlight: Neuralog is Growing in Houston Office Space

This month’s spotlight features Neuralog, located at 4800 Sugar Grove in Stafford, Texas. For the last 15 years, this oil and gas data analytics provider, has leased office space in Boxer’s Four Sugar Grove property.

Founded by husband and wife owners Ken and Sherry Land, both of whom previously worked for NASA, Neuralog has been providing low-cost solutions to capture, organize, and analyze data for the oil and gas industry over the course of 25 years. Their office in Houston is home to most of their 32 employees, with some staff working remotely.

In addition to the data support products and services Neuralog provides to the oil and gas industry, the company has expanded their operation to include printers and tools that make labels for bottles and containers used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. Reflecting that growth and success, Neuralog is currently working with Boxer to renovate and expand their space at 4800 Sugar Grove.

Neuralog’s Office Redesign and Expansion with Boxer Property

According to Jennifer Sandlin, office manager for Neuralog, the multi-phase plan includes a demo area for customers to experience hardware and software products, as well as dedicated space for new product development and testing. The project also expands the company’s on-site production capacity, with the ultimate goal of running the entirety of both their manufacturing and their shipping operations from the 4800 Sugar Grove location. “There’s lots of exciting stuff going on,” Sandlin said of the company’s plans.

Phase 1 began in April 2019 and included redesigning and renovating the administrative and marketing offices already located on the second floor at 4800 Sugar Grove. Neuralog and Boxer collaborated on the professional redesign, one of Boxer’s many services. The office renovation, which included new flooring and lighting, was handled by Boxer General Contractors.

Sandlin describes Phase 1, which was complete in October 2019, as a good, collaborative effort. Noting that office renovations can be challenging for tenants, she said of the Boxer team, “They were very receptive and gave us quick responses.” She also complemented Boxer’s communication throughout the project, citing kick-off meetings and updates three times per week.

Phase 2 is scheduled to begin October 19th, and will focus on Neuralog’s newly-acquired space on the first floor. The large area will be used for product manufacturing, including a new scanner they will be introducing soon. The first-floor space is big enough to accommodate their shipping and receivables, and conveniently located near administrative and marketing offices upstairs on the second floor.

Sandlin says Neuralog has enjoyed their long-running relationship with Boxer Property and describes their experience at Four Sugar Grove as positive. “The security staff is always friendly, and the maintenance team is always quick to respond.” While Neuralog’s administrative and marketing offices occupy most of the second floor, Sandlin is quick to point out they know their office neighbors.

Neuralog Continues Its Growth Trajectory with New Product Development

This year continues to be exciting for Neuralog. In addition to completing the office renovation and expansion of their Houston office space, they have two new products hitting the market and plans to continue their growth and success by using tried-and-true strategies. They are a strong presence at all the major trade shows; for both the oil and gas, as well and labeling industries. They also utilize their social media platforms on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to communicate with their markets and stay in touch with customers. Everyone enjoys their special customer appreciation events like holiday parties and old-fashioned ice-cream socials.

Customer Spotlight: Bernard Kleina Photography in Wheaton, Illinois

This month’s tenant spotlight features Bernard Kleina, a photographer in Chicago who has documented the civil rights movement and many other historic topics. Located at 2100 Manchester, Bernard has been in this west Chicago office space since 2012 but his career spans over 5 decades.

Bernard started taking photographs in 1965, when he became involved in the Civil Rights movement. From his office space in Chicago, he curates a body of work that spans more than fifty years, and continues to impact the world today. “Since 1965,” he states on his website, “I have had the privilege of photographing ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and extraordinary people doing exceptional and uncommon things.”

Historic Civil Rights Photographer and Activist Calls Chicago Office Space Home

In 1965, Bernard went to Selma, Alabama to march for voting rights with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was arrested in Selma for parading without a permit, just days before the famous march to Mobile. He later followed Dr. King to Chicago, where he listened to speeches, participated in protests, and photographed Dr. King. Those photographs turned out to be historic, as they were the first candid color photographs ever taken of Dr. King. Bernard’s unique photos have been featured by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, both on their website and in the Washington DC museum.

In 1970, Bernard joined HOPE Fair Housing Center, a nonprofit that serves North and North Central Illinois by working to create greater housing opportunities and end housing discrimination in the region. He served as the Executive Director of HOPE for 41 years, producing numerous videos on housing discrimination, and using his photography to underscore the mission of HOPE. He is passionate about housing and states: “Housing at the heart of our struggle for equality.”

Bernard’s first experience at 2100 Manchester was actually with HOPE, who maintained office space at this Chicago location from 1995 – 2012. When he left HOPE in 2012 to focus on Bernard Kleina Photography, the choice for a Chicago office space was easy. “I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t like it,” he says, noting the convenient location and pleasant staff.

Bernard’s work has been displayed across the country. He recently had exhibits in Montgomery, Alabama and Washington, DC; as well as on the campuses of Duke University and Wheaton College. His photographs have also been exhibited in other locations across the country including Las Vegas and Orange County. In October 2019, his photographs were featured at the Chicago Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights 50th Anniversary Gala – fifty images for fifty years.

In addition to his photography exhibits and speaking engagements, Bernard consults with nonprofit organizations and law firms on the imagery they utilize in their outreach programs and digital communications. He’s also working to get more of his historic photographs into Chicago area schools. Noting that Dr. King led protests and for a while lived in the Chicago area, he believes students today will find Dr. King’s words and images relevant and inspiring.

Bernard, who celebrated his 84th birthday in October, shows no signs of slowing down. He still works seven days a week and has no plans to retire. “When you love what you do, you keep working,” he said, adding, “It’s what keeps me young.”

To learn more about Bernard’s work or Bernard Kleina Photography, you can visit his website or contact him directly at 630.260.4100.
