RISE Spotlight is a monthly series of free-to-attend digital events, based around key ISE technology areas. Produced in association with TNW, they feature global subject experts, technology entrepreneurs and start-ups.
The first RISE Spotlight, launching on Tuesday 24 November, based around unified communications and collaboration, with the theme of Workspace Evolution.
With the increased shift to remote working and the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, this timely subject provides valuable learning and insights into the future development of work and workspaces.
Welcome and opening remarks
John Egan is CEO of l’Atelier, a foresight business within BNP Paribas that identifies opportunities where technological and social change intersect. He will discuss millennials’ expectations of the world of work and what they are looking for from their workspaces.
ISE Reporter Roundtable
COVID-19 has accelerated the deployment and use of technology. Individuals are empowered to work remotely, and teams have already seen how to achieve collaborative working.
However, tech alone cannot improve productivity and performance; culture is an important part of the jigsaw. In conversation with Mar Masson Maack, Marit Janssen of ABN AMRO gives a personal perspective on some of the issues raised in the Reporter Roundtable.
Attendees were able to choose to visit one of three virtual networking rooms to take part in a moderated discussion of different aspects of Workspace Evolution.
Room 1: Is working from home the new normal? The effects of the post-pandemic work space on home tech design
• Ed Wenck, Content Director, CEDIA
• Walt Zerbe, Senior Director of Technology & Standards, CEDIA
Room 2: What role can the channel play with digital flow in the workplace of the future?
• Jon Sidwick, President, Collabtech Group
Room 3: Let’s talk trends: Prepare for next level collaborative working
• Sean Wargo, Senior Director, Market Intelligence, AVIXA

A recent ‘ISE at TNW’ panel discussed the future of collaborative working. Decentralisation has been accelerated, creating significant opportunities for innovation within office and home environments. Digital work platforms will evolve, and new roles will be created as companies put more emphasis on managing digital experiences.
To complement our RISE Spotlight event on XR, Amelia Kallman, futurist, author and chair of ISE’s XR Summit, reviews some of the areas where these technologies are making their mark right now.
A Definition of Workspace Evolution
“The whole world is now debating the future of work and offices. In a world where technology at work has previously been fragmented and often distracting, Covid-19 has accelerated the need for more collaborative, smarter workspaces.
Organisations are looking for opportunities to improve productivity of employees, as well looking after staff wellbeing and employees want to be able to work optimally on different devices, at any time and wherever they are, which means a reliance on portable devices and shared, cloud-based resources to allow for easy collaboration and communication between team members.
Tech such as collaboration and conferencing systems and interactive displays will be at the heart of the evolving smart workplace and innovation such as 5G and IoT will allow technology to connect the workplace and keep it running efficiently — providing a huge boost for the future of work.
What will the future of work look like and what role will your technology play in the end game? ISE is here to help you tick off everything you need to get up to date with the latest tech in smarter, more…“
