A Warm Welcome To WORKTECH20 Auckland

WORKTECH20 Auckland is the forum for all those involved in the future of work and the workplace as well as real estate, technology and innovation.

Never before has the workplace, and the way we work been so high on the agenda for organisations looking to improve productivity, attract and retain talent, and increase business return.

You are invited to join 100+ senior professionals from real estate,

facilities, HR, technology, executive management, architecture, design

and professional advisors to listen to global thought leaders and

share best practise and expertise.

The conference will be run in one stream, which means our

delegates will get to attend every speaker presentation. Alongside

the conference, we will also have a curated innovation exhibition

happening in the breakout areas for attendees to meet with our

education partners, complementing learning throughout the day.

There will be networking breaks creating time for attendees to meet

with partners and the other participants.

We hope you will be able to join us, and we are looking forward to

welcoming you to the event on the 17th of March.

Warmest regards,

Samantha

departments, alongside radical visionaries from new innovative

organisations.

curate a unique programme, bringing together experts in the fields of

people, place and technology and relevant adjacencies to reflect on

the future of work and workplace.

Alongside the conference series, the WORKTECH Academy knowledge

hub, explores the future of work through 6 key themes: people,

place, technology, design, culture and innovation. Creating leading

commentary, research, and publications, that places scientific

research at the heart of key business problems.
