Tickets are available here.
Join us in San Francisco on Tuesday, August 11 on the 15th floor of 600 Cal for a discussion about what we can learn from billion dollar startup workplaces. Tickets are available here. Top workplace experts, venture capitalists, and the designers behind billion dollar startups will address what types of space best support a culture of collaboration, engagement, and ideation, how technology is integrated into spaces to support innovation, how these startups leverage social networks, and how it overlaps with the workplace.
For more on the inspiration behind the topic, check out parts one, two, and three of our recent series, “How the New Economy is Changing the Workplace”. For a recap of our D.C. TALK, held at WeWork Wonder Bread in June, click here.
