Tech on Tap: The Future of Workspace

We are at a critical point where tech companies have the opportunity to rethink their workspace. Supporting employees, driving innovation, and maintaining productivity stand as paramount objectives. To be resilient, we have to prioritize people over policies, collaboration over silos, and flexibility over stringency—not only in the future workplace but in the present one. 

Join us on Thursday, January 18th for a discussion led by Multistudio's Emily Harrold and Katie Pohlman. Enjoy drinks as we explore the themes that have evolved over the past decade and have been accelerated by the pandemic. Discover innovative approaches that forward-thinking organizations are using to foster in-person connections, meaningful collaboration and a sense of camaraderie within the office environment.

Seating is limited and attendance is exclusive to KCTC member companies. If you are registered and cannot attend, please let us know in advance so your seat doesn't go unfilled.
