About this event

Event lasts 4 hours 30 minutes

AI, hybrid work models, and digital fatigue are reshaping not just how we work, but how we connect, lead, and collaborate at work. As these shifts accelerate, workplaces must evolve to support both performance and human connection. Join us for a panel conversation with industry experts as we explore how technology and design can work together to create environments that help us stay human in a digital-first world. We’ll dive into how organizations can use community-based design to align culture, well-being, and innovation to drive real business outcomes. After the discussion, explore a limited-time Tech Week pop-up! This interactive environment will showcase what’s possible with integrated technology solutions to support the future of work.
