AV Events

What’s the role of the office in the modern workplace? Learn the importance of great workplace design and AV integration from industry leaders in this exclusive webinar. We believe you can avoid a return-to-office mandate and create a workplace worth returning to — but it requires a new approach. It’s no longer enough to consider how many conference rooms you need, the maximum number of chairs each room can hold, and where to hang a 65-inch display. When you create a modern workplace with spaces that are meaningful and useful to employees, you must go beyond fundamental design and bring AV into the conversation early in the process. By asking deeper questions and taking a science-backed approach, you can make better decisions and create spaces fit for purpose. This conversation includes thought leadership from HOK and AVI Systems about essential workplace gathering spaces and the AV tech considerations you should consider. 

Key takeaways include:

• The importance of workplace design.
• Understanding the connective tissue that exists between modern workplace design and AV solutions.
• Explore the modern design and AV solutions can create a workplace worth returning to - one where employees can collaborate and be productive.
