This month, Worktech 17 Dubai is bringing professionals together to explore the future of work and the contemporary office.
With the labour force in flux and globalisation necessitating the re-thinking of the nature and scope of work, top corporate leaders realise that preparing for the future of the modern workplace is the key to success. To address this and many other contemporary issues, the MENA region is pleased to be welcoming Worktech 17 Dubai (26 September).
The event is hosted at the breath-taking new Address Boulevard Hotel – designed by 2016 identity Design Award-winner Atkins Global – whose magnificent 63 stories boast jaw-dropping views of the lake below and of the Burj Khalifa tower. Its architectural aptitude is rivalled only by its luxurious contemporary interiors by HBA (Hirsch Bedner Associates).
Sponsored by Haworth, Orangebox, Human Space, The Furniture Company, Kvadrat Soft Cells and Teknion, the show will welcome international and local senior professionals from real estate, facilities, HR, technology, executive management, architecture and design, while professional advisors will use multiple platforms to discuss how workplaces can best prepare for the future.
