Workplace technology conference set to return

A major conference, organised by Scenariio, which showcases how technology and AI can help make workplaces more efficient is set to return this summer.

The Workplace Technology Conference, which will take place at The Chocolate Factory on 6 June, will offer a blend of exhibits, trade stands and leading industry speakers discussing the latest thinking and developments in intelligent solutions and innovations in building design, fit-outs and facilities management across a whole host of industries.

The event is being organised by smart infrastructure equipment and IT firm Scenariio, which is one of the region’s leading firms offering intelligent tech for the workplace, in conjunction with a host of world-leading technology providers.

It follows in the footsteps of a similar conference, which took place last year.

That event attracted attendees from across the UK and from further afield, including Germany and Holland.

George Pritchard, technical director of Scenariio, said: “Last year’s event was a huge success and showed how much interest there is in technology that meets the demands of companies who are looking to attract and retain talent while delivering on their carbon reduction targets.

“An American study showed that simply by monitoring and automating just three things, your HVAC system, lighting and window shading, companies can save up to 50% of their annual energy bill, while swapping traditional lightings with human centric LED lights can improve workers’ well-being.

“This smart building technology is accessible to everyone, while a new generation of smart building technology powered by artificial intelligence, which is now being developed at a tremendous pace.

“This will all be explored in what promises to be an exciting conference, which is why we hope that as many building operators, architects, developers and landlords will come along to find out more.”

At the event, Scenariio will also be talking about its installation at Treetops Hospice’s Children’s Counselling and Therapy Centre, where it installed a host of LED daylight-harvesting lights and sensors as part of last year’s BBC Children in Need’s DIY: SOS Big Build.

Registration for the Workplace Technology Conference is free, but attendees will be invited to make a donation to Treetops Hospice.
