A Warm Welcome To WORKTECH20 Sydney

WORKTECH20 Sydney is the fastest growing 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 320+ 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 three 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 26th of March.

Warmest regards,

Isabel

MEET THE SPEAKERS

WORKTECH20 Sydney will attract some of the biggest and brightest names to debate, discuss, and divulge the latest thinking on the future of work and the workplace.

The day will feature over 20 speakers, including leading international

thinkers from industry and academia. Our speakers represent some

of the world’s biggest brands and best universities and research

departments, alongside radical visionaries from new innovative

organisations.

Through inter-disciplinary speakers and learning experience,

we focus on bringing cutting edge ideas and inspiration to the

workplace community to enhance creativity and move thinking

forward. Instead of focussing on peer to peer innovation through

imitation, we aim to 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.

SESSIONS

Conference

Emotional Skills and the Future of WorkGauri Bhalla, Faculty, the School of Life

Developing our emotional skills is a core part of improving our overall wellbeing at work and our ability to not just survive, but thrive. We know that emotional intelligence is important, but we’re not always quite sure what it really is. This is an introduction: exploring what it means, how it can make teams and organisations more creative, collaborative and productive and how we can develop our emotional skills on a daily basis.

Conference

Designing High Performance WorkspacesChristhina Candido, Senior Lecturer, The University of Sydney

While much has been done in quantifying the negative impacts of open-plan offices it is time to identify design solutions that actually perform well in order to protect the millions of workers now and in the future. This presentation will discuss key findings from Australian high-performance, open-plan offices case studies.

10.05 Emotional Skills and the Future of Work

Gauri Bhalla, Faculty, the School of Life Emotional intelligence or “EQ” is no longer a “nice to have” optional skillset. The flip side of the technology revolution is that human skills such as creativity, originality, initiative, critical thinking, persuasion and negotiation will actually grow in importance. Developing our emotional skills is a core part of improving our overall wellbeing at work and our ability to not just survive, but thrive. We know that emotional intelligence is important, but we’re not always quite sure what it really is. This is an introduction: exploring what it means, how it can make teams and organisations more creative, collaborative and productive and how we can develop our emotional skills on a daily basis (just as we may exercise daily).
