TURN MARKET INSIGHT INTO USEFUL CLIENT ADVICE

TEST THE ASSUMPTIONS IN YOUR BRIEF

Bring questions from current or upcoming projects. Compare different approaches to space, employee experience and service delivery, and identify where your client brief needs more evidence.

Meet specialists in workplace technology, design, furniture and facilities services. Discuss capabilities, responsibilities and support so you can identify potential partners for further assessment.

PLAN YOUR VISIT

Choose a non-confidential client challenge and map the types of expertise it requires. Shortlist relevant exhibitors, compare their answers and record any evidence you still need. Allow time for learning and conversations outside your own discipline, then turn your notes into a focused research or partner-assessment plan.
