Space as a Service: Adapting to the new system of work
- Space as a Service: Adapting to the new system of work
DIY Theater Sunday 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM
The way work is getting done is changing. And not in a small way: Office workers no longer need an office, large factories are no longer required for production. These monumental shifts in the way that people work require major adaptations in work spaces. Workers will choose a new workspace, not be assigned one. They will choose the space based on the services the space offers and the people who work there with them. Whether you are a landlord, employer, employee, or independent worker: do not be left behind. Learn why these new spaces will emerge and what they will look like? Discover what services will be necessary for a successful workspace? Meet the people who will work in the spaces and learn what skills and knowledge that they bring to the community? Understand why they want to work in these work spaces.
