WORKTECH26 Toronto is a senior-level conference exploring the future of work and the workplace. It is part of the world’s leading conference series, WORKTECH.

Bringing together leaders from across Canada and North America, WORKTECH26 Toronto examines the future of work through the lens of people, place, and technology.

A highly regarded, sell-out event, it convenes senior professionals from workplace strategy, corporate real estate, HR, technology, facilities, architecture, and design who are navigating hybrid transformation, portfolio optimisation, digital acceleration, and shifting employee expectations.

Through case studies, expert panels, and open discussion, the conference explores how workplace strategy, data, culture, and technology intersect to support organisational performance and long-term resilience. Sessions are peer-led and insight-driven, encouraging practical knowledge exchange rather than product-led presentations.

Hosted in Toronto — one of North America’s most diverse and dynamic business hubs — the event connects senior professionals from across Canada and internationally to exchange perspectives, benchmark strategies, and explore how leading organisations are shaping the workplace of the future.

Last Year at WORKTECH Toronto

WORKTECH Toronto previously brought together senior leaders from major Canadian and global organisations spanning financial services, technology, professional services, government, and healthcare.

Discussions focused on hybrid work maturity, workplace intelligence and analytics, ESG-aligned real estate strategy, employee experience design, and the integration of digital and physical environments.

Attendees left with practical insight into portfolio transformation, culture-led workplace strategy, AI experimentation, and data-driven decision-making — grounded in real-world case studies and peer discussion.

I was reminded of how much I enjoy being in this city, and how valuable it is to step outside our day-to-day roles to see new spaces, to learn from and connect with others.

Key Themes

Devising Post-Digital, AI Native Workplaces for Humans

Decades of digital transformation have fundamentally reshaped the way we work. The twentieth-century concept of the office as the business epicenter is making way for workplaces as hubs for networked, hybrid collaboration. Physical offices are becoming intelligent environments, with sensors capturing real-time data on occupancy, utilization and flow.

Return to Office Mandates: Return to the Old Normal?

Toronto’s banks and government agencies are forcing a five-day return-to-office (RTO), disrupting hybrid work strategies and creating challenges for portfolio optimization and space utilization. Evidence from other markets shows attendance rarely matches policy, with hybrid work persisting as the long-term employee preference.

Designing the Future Workplace Around People and Purpose

Dragging people back to static offices won’t rebuild trust or increase productivity. How can we rethink and design workplaces into dynamic, human-centered environments, tailored to purpose and diversity, where space becomes a strategic asset delivering measurable ROI in health, engagement, retention and collaboration?

Informative, interesting views on workplace design, planning technology and workers.
