Workplace Week Convention 2016: Full Programme

On the 16th November, renowned speakers from the fields of sport (Tim Henman), neuroscience (Professor John Harrison) and business come together at the Workplace Week Convention to discuss the ways in which Real Estate, FM, HR and IT professionals can transform the workplace into a strategic weapon to make a step change in the performance of knowledge based organisations.

The “cognitive athlete: managing the workplace for peak, professional performance… beyond wellness” will be a truly insightful day, examining the science and the practice of using workplace change as time to transform workplace design, practice and culture releasing people to be the best they can be.

The Convention is part of Workplace Week, co-ordinated by Advanced Workplace Associates, which this year takes place from 14th-18th November 2016, involves a dynamic programme of events and ticketed tours aimed to extend the knowledge base of business, real estate and facilities leaders. JLL, Expedia, Innocent Drinks, Mintel and Lloyd's of London are just some of the big names participating in Workplace Week 2016 to help to raise money for the BBC Children in Need.

Andrew Mawson, MD of leading workplace consultancy AWA, and the brains behind the venture, is very excited about the Convention and its programme of motivational speakers: “Workplace Week has fast become an absolute must in the professional calendar since AWA launched the first in 2009. Through fantastic support from sponsors and everyone who has participated in the last few years we have raised a whopping amount for Children in Need. Workplace Week 2015 raised over £30,000 for the charity, and this year we hope to raise much more and create an even bigger spectacle while we do so” said Mawson.
