Digital Workplace 24 is set to attract even more, including CIOs, CTOs and head of future workplace, agile working plus intranet, digital and online, communications, technology, real estate, facilities and human resources managers.

Paul Miller, Founder and CEO of the Digital Workplace Group, host of IBF Live and one of Digital Workplace 24’s lead presenters said “Digital Workplace 24 is simply a phenomenon. This will connect the world's digital workplace community, diving inside organisations that are breaking free of the limitations of the physical workplace, and working in new powerful, innovative and productive digital ways. “

Miller continued “Whether viewing how European retail giant Zara uses smart devices to drive customer service or how JP Morgan Chase has revolutionized its onboarding process, Digital Workplace 24 will be exciting, inspiring and quite possibly overwhelming!”

Digital Workplace 24 will also feature Tieto showcasing its new digital services for its sales force, as well as IKEA exploring its exceptional Digital Workplace environment in store. Studio guests include Euan Semple, author of "Organisations Don’t Tweet, People Do!" Other tours and guests will be announced over the coming months.
