WORKTECH Zurich is a leading conference exploring how the intersection of people, place, and technology is shaping the future of work and the workplace. It is part of the leading global WORKTECH events series.

Bringing together senior leaders, strategists, designers, technologists, and workplace professionals from across industries, WORKTECH Zurich 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 Zurich 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 Zurich

WORKTECH25 Zurich brought together senior leaders from leading global institutions, including Roche, UBS, Deutsche Bank, European Central Bank, Microsoft, and Swiss Re.

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.

“WORKTECH25 isn’t just about sessions—it’s about cross-disciplinary learning, fresh ideas, and real conversations that move thinking forward in people, place, and technology. I left feeling inspired, full of ideas, and excited about the workplace of tomorrow… today!”

Key Themes

The Intelligent Workplace: Redefining Work in the Age of AI

AI is transforming how organisations operate, collaborate and make decisions—but technology alone is not redefining work. As intelligent systems become embedded across the enterprise, organisations must rethink workflows, leadership, workplace strategy and the relationship between people and technology. This opening theme explores how leading organisations are harnessing AI to enhance human capability, drive productivity and create meaningful business value.

The Future Workplace Ecosystem: Technology, Space & Human Impact

As AI, workplace technology, and physical space increasingly converge, organisations have more data than ever about how workplaces function. The challenge is transforming that data into meaningful insight and confident action. This theme explores how leading organisations are integrating workplace intelligence to optimise portfolios, enhance employee experience, measure workplace value and create more connected, responsive and high-performing workplace ecosystems where people, technology and the built environment work together.

Designing the Adaptive Enterprise

As work continues to evolve, physical environments must do more than accommodate tasks—they shape how people collaborate, innovate, perform and thrive. From corporate offices and innovation campuses to laboratories and manufacturing facilities, organisations are rethinking how the built environment can support people, culture and business strategy. This theme explores design-led approaches to creating adaptive, human-centred workplaces that integrate technology, data and spatial planning to enable organisational performance, strengthen culture and prepare the workforce for the future.

Building the Next-Generation Organisation

The convergence of AI, emerging technologies, and physical and digital environments is creating unprecedented opportunities to reimagine how organisations operate, collaborate and create value. But technology alone is not enough. Success will depend on leaders who can build adaptable organisations, develop new skills, foster human-centred cultures and harness innovation to navigate continuous change. This theme explores how organisations are preparing for the future through new approaches to leadership, workforce capability and the intelligent integration of people, place and technology.

Worktech’s unique & engaging format supports decision makers that have a genuine interest in making the workspace a better place.
