We are delighted to invite you to an exclusive and inspiring Global Summit, taking place at the unique Jimmy Nelson Studio in Amsterdam on the 15th of May, from 09:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
Why you can’t miss this event
This year’s theme, “To Be or Not to Be at the Office”, challenges conventional perspectives on the modern workplace. We move beyond the debate of returning to the office to explore the true value of the workplace—why it matters and how it can drive productivity, culture, and engagement. Our discussions will cover:
- Future of Work & Workspace Strategy
Discover forward-thinking strategies for designing flexible, high-performance workspaces that meet today’s and tomorrow’s needs. - Employee Experience & Engagement
Learn what makes an organization attractive to talent and how to foster culture and loyalty across multiple generations. - Technology & AI in the Workplace
Explore the transformative power of technology and AI in enhancing connection, learning, and (remote) collaboration within a hybrid work environment.
An extraordinary location
The unique setting of this event, Jimmy Nelson’s Studio, perfectly mirrors the themes we’ll explore today. Known for his powerful photography of Indigenous communities, his work depicts the human need for belonging, identity, and cultural preservation. His lifelong journey of photographing diverse cultures aligns with our quest to understand the modern workplace and its evolving value. Just as workplaces should inspire connection and collaboration, Jimmy Nelson’s photography reminds us of the importance of creating environments that foster engagement. His global work, celebrated in galleries worldwide, reflects the value of diversity—similar to how thriving workplaces value diverse perspectives and enhance culture and productivity.
