WORKTECH New York is a leading conference exploring how the future of work and the workplace is being shaped by the intersection of people, place, and technology. It is part of the leading global events series, WORKTECH.

Bringing together senior leaders, strategists, designers, technologists, and workplace professionals from across industries, WORKTECH New York examines how organisations are rethinking work, space, culture, and digital infrastructure in response to rapid change.

The programme is designed for senior professionals responsible for workplace strategy, corporate real estate, facilities, HR, technology, architecture, and design.

Through a mix of keynote presentations, expert panels, and case studies, WORKTECH New York provides a multi-disciplinary, insight-led forum to explore emerging trends — from workplace intelligence and employee experience to hybrid work, digital transformation, and the evolving role of the office.

Last Year at WORKTECH New York

WORKTECH25 New York brought together senior leaders from leading global institutions, including BlackRock, NYU, KPMG, Google, Sanofi, Bose, CapitalOne, and Bloomberg.

Discussions focused on workplace strategies that strengthen collaboration, culture, and retention, emerging approaches to experience design, and the growing impact of AI and data on workplace decision-making.

Attendees left with practical insight into workplace intelligence, AI experimentation, culture-led design, and long-term workplace strategy — grounded in real-world experience and peer discussion.

Key Themes

Performance Under Pressure

A full office is not necessarily a high-performing office. Workplace and corporate real estate leaders are under growing pressure to demonstrate how buildings support people, organisational outcomes and long-term value while balancing cost, carbon, resilience and operational efficiency. This theme challenges traditional measures of success and explores what organisations should measure, where investment creates the greatest impact and how health, employee experience, environmental quality and commercial performance can be brought together across both flagship workplaces and the wider portfolio.

The Adaptive, Data-Ready Workplace

Workplace strategy cannot remain static while attendance patterns, organisational structures and business priorities continue to change. This theme examines how reliable data, connected systems and real-time insight can help leaders make faster, more confident decisions about space, investment and operations. From occupancy intelligence and indoor mapping to responsive services and continuous feedback loops, we will explore how organisations can reduce friction, strengthen portfolio performance and create workplaces capable of evolving long after opening day.

The Headquarters Experience Economy

The corporate headquarters is being reinvented as more than a place to work. It is becoming a platform for talent, culture, innovation, client engagement and brand – one that must earn the journey and justify continued investment. This theme explores how leading organisations are creating magnetic workplaces through hospitality, wellness, learning, events, amenities and neighbourhood connection, and asks what the next generation of headquarters must deliver to create meaningful experiences and lasting value for both people and the business.

The AI-Native Workplace

AI is no longer simply another workplace tool; it is beginning to reshape jobs, teams, decisions and the way knowledge work is organised. This theme explores what the workplace must become as people work alongside intelligent systems, collaboration models evolve and organisations rethink the skills and structures they need. From AI-enabled environments and smarter workplace services to adoption, trust and behavioural change, we will examine how leading organisations are preparing their people, places and technologies for an AI-native future.

Invaluable experience from both a content and connections perspective.

Manager, Workplace Change and Real Estate Services, Aurizon

Really a diverse set of perspectives on critical topics in the real data and workplace disciplines. Extremely thought-provoking.
