Companies have embraced the norm of BYOD, deployed hybrid work strategies well and started to incorporate AI as a productivity improvement tool.
Are the three megatrends of AI, cybersecurity and sustainability occupying your daily thinking? And are you embracing other challenges such as implementing people and data service solutions in your distributed workforce and workplaces?
Smart Workplace Summit addressed a wide range of topics and trends around workplace digital transformation.

Hear some best case practices on current and planned uses of AI. How it is being utilised in automating routine front and back office tasks; how it is enabling measurable productivity; how it is mitigating corporate risk; controlling the conference room tech for optimum experiences; and how AI is making efficiencies across the board – not at the cost of but in support of the labour force.
On cybersecurity: there is new legislation coming down the line. Will your existing cybersecurity measures conform? What have you got in place to protect sensitive data and ensure business continuity? Learn what you need to plan for and how best to respond if you are the victim of a cyberattack.
Where is sustainability as part of the workplace strategy? Are you still just recycling your rubbish or do you have a wide-ranging. measurable plan in place and the commitment of your Board and workforce?
We took a deep dive with UCC experts into the latest digital trends, what they are working with now and what they see coming down the line.
Host Gary Keene is Audio-Visual Architect at the University of the Arts London, where he's part of the team looking at how learning and collaboration spaces adapt to become more responsive to changes in user demand.
Before joining UAL, he spent eight years at Google, where his work allowed Google to build and run the largest fleet (34k+) of video conference rooms in the world. Gary worked with AVIXA to introduce service management training into the AV industry and is currently carrying out research on the management structures needed to make buildings more adaptable to rapidly changes in user demand.
“The way AI is transforming AV networks is nothing short of revolutionary... But what’s lurking behind the scenes is a carbon footprint that we can’t afford to ignore.”
Summit Programme
Programme review and a scene setter:
What order of priority would you put the following three issues affecting the workplace of today:
- AI
- Cybersecurity
- Sustainability
Hold on to these ideas and we will revisit these throughout the day.
When we look at the Dimensions of AI Development: resource consumption and social inequalities, do AI systems have significant ethical implications that intersect with sustainability?
Join Claudia Feiner as she looks at how AI and Sustainability can work together to create future-proof systems that can be used in the AV Industry.
This session will consider the importance of considering the human inputs and interfaces for AI, security and sustainability.
Security, sustainability and AI have to be built around peoples' needs and they have to work around peoples' behaviors. We will review the latest insights from primary research and the engineering considerations to make technology human-centric.
