Smart Workplace Summit

Wednesday 31 January - Thursday 1 February
Time: 15:30 - 18:00
Location: CC5.1

Tackling New Challenges

The Smart Workplace Summit ran on two consecutive afternoons during ISE. This year’s programme was hosted by Gary Keene, Audio Visual Architect at University of the Arts London.

The 2024 programme included a case study from the London College of Fashion on creating a smart workspace for 5000 students: how the project was approached, and how the design process and the installed technologies were selected to support and respond to the specific uses of the spaces.   

There were also sessions on regulation and standards strategies, and what the office of the future will look like – and at what cost? Also on the agenda were climate change and sustainability, and how to integrate ESG into operations; the hybrid work experience and the utilisation of immersive technologies to improve the employee’s experience at the office and when working remotely; there was also a look at Generative AI pros and cons and what AI might mean for smart workplaces in the future.  

Cyber security is also on the agenda. The Summit heard from Shaun Reardon, principal consultant at DNV Cyber Security, on what Cyber War Games are, and how to stop staff from unintentionally being their organisation's biggest cyber security risk. Delegates learned what policies they and their suppliers and partners need to put in place to create a safe and protected built environment.

    Much of the conversation around the growth of AI in AV has focused on its impact on individual and team productivity.  We also hear in more general terms about some of the ethical challenges in the creation of AI-created or AI-influenced content.  How are the ethical issues in AI with AV playing themselves out at the moment?

    Now that the business case for sustainability is proven, what can each of us do to integrate sustainability into the practices that support AV technology lifecycles?
