and think a bit outside the box
Come join GPA at ISE 2022, where we will challenge what the trends and realities of the “new normal” in unifying people, space, and technology within the hybrid workplace. We will discuss enhancing customer and employee experience to attract attendance to the office, as well as how to better enable remote collaboration. We’ll bring the voices of GPA together with those of select invited customer guests, sharing ideas and priorities and driving innovation as only GPA can.
Monday 9th May 4.15pm – 5.45pm
Melia Sarria Hotel, Barcelona
Work-from-home is now firmly established in the “new normal”, yet we all know the opportunity of having staff (and indeed customers) come to the office. But what is it that will attract people to do so? It’s clear the entire office “experience” will need to be substantially enhanced to overcome the convenience of the home office, but enabling human engagement and collaboration in all its forms must be at the core. To do so however, our traditional definition of a “meeting” must evolve, with a recognition that “everywhere is a meeting space” in the new office construct. Leading GPA voices from across the globe will tackle these topics and its implications and opportunities before we turn it over to the audience to discuss and drive further perspectives, ideas, and innovation as only GPA can.Â

The modern, collaborative workplace is forever changed – in its purpose, in the employee and customer experience it must deliver, and how it needs to be managed. While Smart Workplace translates to many as simply as Hot Desking, and that may be the most impactful immediate opportunity to pursue, building a flexible and dynamic foundation for a comprehensive Smart Workplace strategy and Infrastructure that can mature with you is critical to long term efficiency and opportunity. Join leading GPA and industry thought leaders for their insights, experiences, and practical case studies before we turn exploration of the opportunities and challenges of creating a truly collaborative, experientially driven smart workplace over to you.Â

“Out of adversity comes opportunity” proposed Benjamin Franklin. The pandemic brought all sorts of compromise and pain, but it also forced “different” in so many ways we might never have been considered without it. With new lenses and new foundations, where are the opportunities to embrace “different” in our search for “better”, and what practical things can we do to take advantage of them. Having undertaken an internal exercise recently to challenge the session title question that brought surprising and exciting results and ideas, this first chance to bring together a diverse global audience together in a room seemed like the ideal opportunity to further the discussion with the perspectives of a wider group of diverse and progressive global voices.Â
Join us at any time during the show to relax and engage with GPA teams and select vendor partners.
