Culture, technology and space working together.
The North East's first living workplace event. For two days the Boiler Shop becomes a fully working workplace — settings you actually work in, workshops that challenge how you think, talks that change what you ask for, and a live survey reading the room in real time. Free to attend. Registration required.
Less show. More work. Every chair sat in and every opinion logged becomes shared evidence.
Arrival that feels like joining something important. Your badge activates your WorkPulse record. You're not a guest — you're part of the living workplace from minute one.
Workshops embedded in the actual settings, on the actual furniture. Sit in it. Test it. Converse in it. This is real work happening now — not theatre.
The North East's only live workplace sentiment wall. 300 people shaping the data in real time. Speakers see it. You see the evidence build.
Not clocking off. The closing social where conversations continue, ideas deepen, and you leave with real momentum for your own workplace.
Full speaker line-up and session timings coming soon.
Over two inspiring days, we'll bring together global thought leaders, industry experts and engaging workshop facilitators to take us on a journey of discovery, encouraging us to think beyond the familiar and challenge our perceptions.
Join us for insightful discussions, fresh perspectives and practical ideas that will help shape the future of our workplaces and the way we work.
Nobody here will ask an HR director to care about furniture. This is for people who shape the places where work actually happens.
Specify with confidence. Experience products in real settings before you recommend them. Meet peers and manufacturers. Bring the client who needs convincing.
Your office is costing you people. Spend a day in one that isn't. See culture, technology and space working together for performance and belonging.
Evidence, not opinion. Live data and real settings give you ammunition for the conversations that matter with your board.
De-risk big decisions. Benchmarks, suppliers, procurement connections and proof — all in one place, one train stop from your desk.
Every registration includes a Plus One. Bring your client, your MD, your head of estates — the person a better workplace actually belongs to.
No design event in the country has this. WorkPulse — the North East's workplace evidence platform — runs before, during and after the event.
Work Beyond Walls is curated with the manufacturers who will build the living workplace — every setting you sit in, converse in and work in over the two days is theirs. A maximum of twenty partners, covering the full spectrum of the built interior. Hover any partner to meet them.
Hosted by Workpattern, part of Albany Contract — organised and run as a not-for-profit initiative for the region. Space for a maximum of twenty partners, allocated on a first-come basis.
