Workspace Design Show – 4th & 5th Nov. 2021
It was easy to get tired of trade shows before the pandemic. They filled up the calendar, eating into family and social time with long days and travel time. It seems all we needed was a break. The timing of the Workspace Design Show at London’s Business Design Centre was pretty perfect. It reminded us that we’ve actually missed connecting with colleagues, clients and business partners, and that we really enjoy making new connections. We are social beings at the end of the day.

The original workplace was born with merchant and clerk offices that were large rooms with individual desks, much like an open office. Decision-making rested solely in the executive suite. After World War II, leaders focused on efficiency and division of labour.
