Workplace Trends: Back to Basics
– Survival & Recovery

Thursday 15 October 2009, Kings Place, London

This year’s Workplace Trends conference focuses on the challenges faced by building managers, occupiers and designers in ensuring corporate survival while preparing to take maximum advantage of recovery from recession. The competing pressures of a financial imperative to occupy less space while continuing to provide a quality environment which attracts talented employees, facilitates increased output and stimulates creativity underlie many of the presentations. As delegates will expect from previous Trends events, the programme is made up of authoritative speakers with practical experience of dealing with these issues and providing strategic answers.

We are delighted to bring the Workplace Trends conference to the newly opened Kings Place, just a few minutes’ walk from Kings Cross Station. The building was designed by celebrated architects Dixon-Jones. They have skillfully brought together a major arts venue and creative hub, elegantly situated bars and dining areas including a water front restaurant, an excellent conference and events centre, and a Grade A office complex, designed from the very beginning as an environmentally sustainable development.

Tours of this exciting building will be available for delegates on the day.

If you can't attend in person then you can participate in this year's conference from your desk anywhere in the world! For details on virtual attendance please see below.
