Join us for an industry roundtable discussion on the latest trends in design practice, employment insights, and how a renewed emphasis on flexibility, employee sentiment for wellbeing, and authentic connections is transforming how we work and, ultimately, how we design our cities and neighbourhoods.
Automation, software, and digital skills are reshaping design work. Whole industries, workflows, and job categories are likely to change as a result of the rapid adoption and revolutionary impact of generative AI. New initiatives to upskill workers are bringing up new working and career-path paradigms and as the next generation of workers rises to the forefront in a transformed workplace, their patterns and preferences for communicating and learning will have an impact on work for all of us.
As a result, disruption has emerged as the one constant in an era of perpetual change in the workplace. In addition to the many changes the pandemic brought about—an increasing shift towards remote and subsequently hybrid work, a skill gap in many industries, and a re-evaluation of the role of work in people's lives—come new and escalating challenges.
Join us as we discuss the future of work in architecture and design, where the roundtable will be co-chaired by CEO of CO-architecture, Kevin Mitchem, and ArchiBiz, Tim Smith who will guide the conversation with an exciting cohort of small to large practice, people & culture experts, and researchers & academics
