What is the purpose of an office in the digital era?
The loss of cohesion and deep connection to others felt by many remote workers has turned our attention to the meaning of office. Many find that being away from a shared space takes not only a toll on wellbeing, but also on creativity and innovation.

How to create a brain-friendly workplace that makes us more creative, productive, happier – and better decision-makers?
In this talk, we will dive into the neuroscience of how spaces influence human cognition and emotion. We will explore the science-based possibilities of enhancing wellbeing and the quality of thought by developing the spaces we inhabit.
The talk aims to answer the following questions:
- How can spaces influence our concentration, memory, creativity and collaboration?
- What is the point of having an office today?
- If office spaces were designed to support our brains at work, what would they look like?
You are most welcome to join us online!
