Why attend Workx?

What You’ll Explore at WorkX

Lead Through Financial Correction

The mandate has shifted from evolving the workplace to defending it. Gain proven strategies to navigate mid-year budget resets, footprint reduction targets, and real-time cost pressure while protecting performance and long-term value.

Workplace Performance Infrastructure & Intelligent Asset Management

Learn how to tie space, services, and experience directly to productivity, retention, utilization, and operating margin so every investment withstands executive scrutiny.

Make Irreversible Decisions with Data-Backed Confidence

Pilot mode is over. Explore how senior leaders are using AI forecasting, utilization analytics, and scenario modeling to act decisively on leases, consolidations, and capital plans under compressed timelines.

Influence the C-Suite with Metrics That Matter

When utilization data triggers portfolio exits and headcount resets, workplace leaders must speak in financial outcomes. Walk away equipped to translate complex workplace decisions into executive language and position your function as indispensable to enterprise performance.

Insights from your peers

Hear from Past Attendees

It was a great experience… very rewarding to see where the industry is going and the focus on experience and employees more than facilities. It’s been validating to see we’re on the right track, and also that there’s still so much more we can do. And I’ve met so many people who are really leading this… it’s been inspiring to learn from them.

TDECU

VP, Corporate Real Estate

I came to WorkX because it brings together people who speak the same language and face the same challenges. Workshop Day was especially valuable. I picked up real examples and approaches you can take straight back to your team. And what I love is the mix of industries… hospitality, pharma, music, movies. It’s a beautiful exchange of different perspectives, and we share the same goal: improvement.

Warner Music Group

Global Head of Workplace Experience

I’ve been to a lot of conferences, and I really like this newer format with multiple ways to engage at WorkX. Some people want to be spoken to, and some want to sit at a roundtable and bounce ideas back and forth in a more open conversation. Overall, I love that this conference creates more space for people to engage and learn in different ways.

Children's Health

Vice President, Facilities Operations

This conference is unique because it’s a boutique style event and more personal. At larger conferences, you meet people once and never see them again… but here, I’m making long-term connections. That really happens through the workshops and tours, learning from each other and experiencing it all alongside the same group.
