Don't miss Studio Tate's workplace design webinar

Studio Tate will be hosting a webinar to discuss how COVID-19 has impacted workplace design on Wednesday 19 August 2020.

Titled The Future of Workplace Design – Challenges and Opportunities, it will be held at 1pm AEST and will be moderated by Australian Design Review editor Elisa Scarton.

Panelists will be discussing changes they anticipate to workplace design and furniture specifications, as well as looking at how COVID-19 has impacted the Central Business District and workplace culture, while ushering in the need for third spaces to keep employees separate.

Drawing from their industry experience, the speakers will also be sharing their advice on how businesses of all industries and sizes can develop new ways to build culture, ensure connections and foster innovation.

The panel will be headed by Studio Tate’s Alex Hopkins.
