ARCHITECT@WORK introduces next level lead generation by adding a brand new hybrid dimension to all events!

11 June 2020

Face to face contact has always proven to boost the success of your relationships, whether they are personal or business related. It is the type of contact which enables us to pick up on body language, it satisfies our basic need for human interaction, encourages transparency and is the best basis for a solid, long-term business relationship.

This is the reason why we are convinced that now, more than ever, is the time to invest in face to face business opportunities such as ARCHITECT@WORK. Our flexible and cost-effective concept enables you to showcase your latest innovations, on various locations throughout Europe and beyond, to a community of architects and interior designers.

All of which will be brought in the same convivial and familiar atmosphere, but above all in a safe environment, respecting all preventive measures. Your health and safety is of the utmost importance to us!

Over the last couple of years however, we have also been working towards finding a good balance between solid, innovative on-site content and strong additional digital elements.

Recent developments accelerated our research and ARCHITECT@WORK is proud to announce that next level lead generation will be introduced from September 2020 onwards, as part of our strategic plan to add a hybrid dimension to all our events!

ARCHITECT@WORK – LOCAL IS THE NEW GLOBAL

13 May 2020

It goes without saying that COVID-19 has all of a sudden taken hold of all our lives, whether that be from a professional or private point of view with the extreme, yet necessary (confinement) measures that have been taken throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

The good news is that these measures have proven to be successful – the curve has flattened or is flattening – and multiple, phased exit scenarios are under construction in the different countries that we are active in.

We are positive and confident that our unique concept will once more prove its value: every single ARCHITECT@WORK is hosted nationally/regionally, right at the beating heart of a strong community of architects and interior designers.
