Design Museum Everywhere
Workplace innovation summit

The 4th Annual Workplace Innovation Summit was the most dynamic and expansive summit Design Museum hosted, bringing together over 300 thought leaders, innovators, and professionals at Boston’s Innovation and Design Building for a one-day, hands-on exploration of the future of the workplace.

​

Throughout the day, keynote presentations, visioning exercises, and q-storming workshops fueled lively conversation and creative problem-solving. Leaders from across business sectors guided sessions that pushed the boundaries of how we think about work environments, collaboration, and technology integration.

​

Technology played a starring role, seamlessly woven into the day’s experience. Guests tracked the summit’s progress through Bluescape’s digital notebook technology, enhanced with beautifully illustrated live notes captured by a Collective Next scribe. Attendees engaged with the content in real time, whether jotting notes on paper or interacting digitally in their preferred work style.

​

Immersive experiences elevated the conversation further: Herman Miller’s VR stations transported guests directly into architectural renderings, while Ava Robotics allowed off-site participants to navigate the event floor remotely via telepresence robots — a true embodiment of the future of remote work.

​

The exhibition area showcased the very best in workplace innovation, featuring soundproof phone booths, privacy screens for open offices, sound-absorbing light fixtures, interactive touch-screen technology, standing desks, and more — offering tangible inspiration for tomorrow’s workplaces.

​

The day concluded with a high-energy reception where guests, exhibitors, and sponsors continued conversations sparked throughout the summit, leaving energized and inspired to bring new ideas back to their own organizations.
