WORKTECH17 New York will include:

• Conference: The Future of Work and the Workplace

Date/Time: Thursday, May 4 from 9 a.m. to 5:45 p.m.

Location: Convene, 117 W. 46th St., New York

• Masterclass: BCG Office of the Future in Hudson Yards, New York

Date/Time: Friday, May 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Location: 10 Hudson Yards, New York

About: A very different type of workspace has been created for BCG at its new home on Manhattan’s far West Side. Based on the idea of “neighborhoods” for practice or industry clusters, the facility provides shared spaces for both BCG’s consultancy and non-consultancy teams in an environment that promotes community and interaction, with a focus on energy and activity-based spaces. Attendees will hear about the business drivers for the new space as well as the approach and analysis that defined a radical solution for the firm. Key enablers will be explained, from the workplace app to innovative technologies that powered a new way of working and led to a new concept of the “collision coefficient” being born. Biamp’s Harrison will provide expert insight during the panel, discussing and answering questions about the Devio implementation at BCG’s office of the future.

• Masterclass: The R/GA Digital Workplace

Date/Time: Friday, May 5 from 1:30-5 p.m.

Location: 450 W. 33rd St., New York
About: R/GA has created a “people-centric” workplace that enhances what makes the company special and focuses on the 3Rs — recruiting, retention, and revenue. Sir Norman Foster designed the environment, and his vision was to use digital media to get people to “look up” using a digital canopy of images, ideas, and content — a digital experience that extends to an app that connects people, space, and content. Attendees will get an inside look at R/GA’s state-of-the-art facility.
Engineered to address the unique unified communications (UC) requirements of huddle rooms and other small meeting spaces, Biamp’s Devio allows users to come together quickly and collaborate without wrestling with complex technology. The system features an easy-to-connect device (Devio CR-1) and an advanced beamforming tabletop microphone (Devio DTM-1) or ceiling microphone (DCM-1), equipping meeting spaces with a high-quality, easy-to-operate, laptop-based audio and video conferencing solution. Devio also helps ease installation and management tasks for busy IT managers through the platform’s Auto Setup function, reducing installation time and ensuring remote participants can hear and be heard.
