About WPD Summit

The Launchpad for Workspace Innovation

Step into a whole new experience designed for the future of work. Imagine a dynamic space buzzing with curated meetings, immersive design activations, and purposeful networking. The inaugural Workplace Design Summit is where conversations spark real connections and lasting partnerships—and where we reimagine how the built environment fuels human connection and enhances performance.

How is WPD Summit different from other events in this space?

Workplace Design Summit is purpose-built for the commercial office sector. It combines curated conference content, hosted buyer programming, and design activations in a format that prioritizes depth of engagement and meaningful connection. This is where the workplace industry—architects and designers, end users, owners and lessees, technology integrators, dealers and manufacturers, etc.—will come together, dive into the future of how and where we’ll work, and walk away with the relationships and ideas needed to build that vision.
