Tuesday 17/11 at 2:30 p.m. | Auditorium
As with every edition of Big Buyer, a major conference will explore new IT scenarios, focusing on trends and opportunities in technology in terms of services, machines and devices, as well as developments in OFFICE FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS in an increasingly flexible and innovative office environment.
Leading speakers and high-value case studies will provide targeted insights and practical solutions to transform workspaces in line with emerging trends. The office of the future will need to integrate systems, spaces, furniture and digital technology across different environments to make them more flexible and multifunctional.
A key priority will be to give the workspace structure and technological content capable of enhancing and empowering human resources, while reinventing the Customer Experience. An attractive, environmentally sustainable workplace focused on the best wellbeing solutions will boost productivity and increase customer and employee satisfaction, creating a genuine competitive advantage.
The event will conclude with a ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION, bringing together manufacturers and distributors to compare views on the overall picture that has emerged and how best to interpret it, addressing CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES, STRATEGIES, TOOLS AND COLLABORATION.
