At the heart of our work, our spaces, and our lives are humans. While the world around us evolves, our fundamental needs remain constant. In this virtual event, join us as we dig into the importance of purpose with social entrepreneur Aaron Hurst, CEO and Founder of US Chamber of Connection and author of The Purpose Economy.

Rethinking Systems

Human-created systems shape how we work, connect, and create. But are the systems we rely on today still serving their purpose—or holding us back? Join the discussion with our expert panel featuring the brilliant Domino Risch, Founder of Placeology, and the one-and-only Andy Lake, Director of Flexibility.co.uk and author of Beyond Hybrid Working. We will discuss the systems that enable modern work and examine which systems continue to support meaningful outcomes, which may need rethinking or creating to meet the needs of today’s workforce.

Tech as an Amplifier
05.15.25 | 12-1 pm PT
As technology continues to evolve at a lightning pace, it forces us to constantly reckon with our relationship with physical spaces and human-made systems. Yet, in this rush to innovate, human needs—unchanged throughout history—are often overlooked. In this virtual event, we sit down with Raphael Gielgen, Trendscout of Vitra to discuss how we can harness technology to amplify human strengths rather than letting it dictate our direction.
