Panel Discussion

Reinventing Workplaces for Connection

The workplace has undergone a seismic transformation. Once the hub where tools, knowledge, and people converged, the office has now evolved into something different: a platform for experiences. As remote and hybrid work models prove their staying power, the role of the office has shifted from necessity to opportunity. Today’s workplace must deliver culture, serve as a powerful recruitment and retention tool, and double as a brand showroom. 

Moderated by RJ King, Author and Editor at DBusiness, this discussion will feature:

  • Richard Hutchinson, Global Sales Director, NowSignage

  • Scott Schoeneberger, Managing Partner, Bluewater

  • Justin Pearson, Manager & Audio Visual Engineering, Rocket

Together, they’ll explore how leading organizations are reinventing their work environments to drive connection, between employees, clients, and culture through smart design and technology integration.
