Beyond 9 to 5: The new era of workplace design

For those in a hurry: Overview of the tours

The traditional 9-to-5 working method is long outdated. But what does the future look like? Our Guided Tours at ORGATEC 2024 on the topic of ‘Beyond 9 to 5: The new era of workplace design’ offer you exclusive insights into trends and developments that are shaping the modern working world.

Expert guidance

Renowned architecture firms will share their expertise and visionary ideas for designing the working environments of the future with you and guide you through the trade fair.

Flexibility, technology and design in harmony

The focus is on flexible room concepts and modular furniture systems that make it possible to quickly adapt workspaces to different requirements. Technology also plays a central role: virtual collaboration platforms and artificial intelligence are fundamentally changing the way we work and communicate with each other.

Another key issue is the physical design of workplaces. Open office landscapes, co-working spaces and ergonomic designs promote both creativity and collaboration. At the same time, acoustic solutions such as sound-absorbing materials and innovative room layouts are crucial to creating a balance between open communication and focussed work.
