a history of worktech

WORKTECH is a holistic research platform that aims to create awareness, drive change and provide specialist insight into the future of work and workplace. The forum, borne out the first industry-specific conference launched in 2003 by Philip Ross and Jeremy Myerson, has now become the world’s leading conferencing and thought leadership series for workplace intelligence.

In its 20th year WORKTECH has expanded to over forty cities around the globe and continues to bring together forward-thinking industry professionals from Fortune 5000 companies to learn from leading international thought leaders and discuss and reflect on the future of work and the workplace. Look out for our exciting program of “20 years of WORKTECH” activities happening throughout the year celebrating our passion for cutting edge innovation, and the latest research and insights into the new world of work.
