The conference will explore four key themes: The sentient workplace - how the workplace will drive smart decisions and where companies will realise benefits as the battle of talent intensifies and focus shifts to contextualised employee experience and computerised technology. Four futures of work – the RSA's model for four different scenarios of the future of work based on uncertain economic and trading relationship in Europe. Science of the workplace - how the workplace is directly impactful not only on our productivity but more importantly our health. The future of work in world cities – an exploration into the crucial role architecture plays in world cities and the need for a holistic approach to the built environment.
Caroline Bell, Managing Director for Unwired Ventures, who runs WORKTECH, has said: "WORKTECH London has become one of the most innovative and inspirational programmes in the workplace professional calendar since it began well over a decade ago. In June we held two events in LATAM and have conferences in Switzerland, Paris, Singapore and Hong Kong still to come this year. London is our biggest event and through fantastic support from sponsors and everyone who has participated in the last few years we have really driven forward the workplace agenda from the holistic viewpoint of technology, people and place."
The WORKTECH conference series has been running since 2003 and is now in more than 25 cities around the globe.
