Notes to editors

Background to WORKTECH:

The first WORKTECH was in 2004 at London’s prestigious British Library and it has become an annual, ‘sell out’ event for senior corporate professionals around the world.  

Commenting, Cordless Group founder Philip Ross said: ‘Immersive technology is having a profound impact on the way we work and on the places in which we work. But still too many knowledge workers struggle with outdated physical environments, organisational structures and working practices. What makes WORKTECH so exciting is the opportunity for delegates to explore these ideas alongside some of the world’s most eminent thinkers on these topics and also to learn about next generation technologies that will herald the next wave of change.’
