Future Workspaces Conference 2025: Shaping Tomorrow’s Workplace – A New Era

Employment in 2025 – it’s complex, it’s different, and it calls for a new approach.

Hosted in the unique eighteen lounge at x+why in Birmingham, join us at our Future Workspaces Conference for expert insights, thought leadership and the opportunity to network with senior decision makers, business leaders and HR directors to discuss topics that need big idea thinking.

Over the past five years, we have all seen irrevocable changes to the employment landscape. Recruitment, retention and skills challenges are not new themes for HR teams. However, the increasing focus on mental health at work, the generational differences within the workforce, plus the opportunities and challenges presented by AI and technology more broadly, means the need for future gazing is more pertinent than ever for leaders of successful organisations.

We’ve put together an exciting agenda with industry-leading speakers, as we look at what the future of work holds for employers and what needs to be done to stay ahead of the curve. We'll navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Together with a line-up of expert speakers, we’ll explore a wide array of topics, including:

• Seeing the Bigger Picture: Evolution of the Workplace – Past, Present and Future
  We’ll take a look at the biggest challenges facing employers in the future world of work.
• Navigating the Very Human Future of Work: Hybrid Work and Mental Health - A Double-Edged Sword?
  This session will explore mental health support in workplaces and consider why there is a need for a greater focus on employee wellbeing.
• The People Landscape: Exploring the Growing Skills Gap
  The recruitment market has changed and opportunity lies with those who invest in upskilling and retraining their current workforce. We’ll focus on solutions for competitive advantage.
• Keynote: A Deep Dive into the Transformative Impact of AI in the Workplace
  This session needs no introduction. Our keynote speaker will be diving headfirst into the impact AI will have on the future.
• Embracing the Future of AI: Technology and Innovation at the Core of the Changing World of Work
  Join our expert panel as they look at the evolution of AI in the Workplace.
• The Evolving Modern Office: Facilitating Meaningful Change in our Workplace
  We’ll discuss what future employees want from their place of work and consider why sustainability needs to be a priority, outlining what businesses can do to keep it on the boardroom agenda.

The day will end with refreshments, canapés and plenty of opportunity for networking.

Don’t miss out on what promises to be the event of the year for senior business leaders, employers and HR professionals.
