Automation and AI are already changing how work happens. If work is no longer central to our lives, what replaces it?
Work Without Work – Rethinking the Purpose of Work, Identity and the Workplace
Automation and AI are already reshaping how work gets done. But most organisations and workplaces are still built around a model of people sitting at desks producing output.
This event explores a different possibility.
Hosted by AW Spaces, Work Without Work brings together leading voices across AI, business and culture to examine what happens when work is no longer the centre of how we define value, identity and purpose.
Through an exclusive interview and panel discussion, we’ll go beyond productivity and tools to explore deeper questions:
- What happens to identity if work is no longer how people define themselves?
- If technology does more of the work, what role remains for organisations and leaders?
- If the office isn’t primarily for work, what becomes its purpose?
- What brings people together when output is no longer the focus?
Expect a provocative, honest conversation designed to challenge assumptions and open up new ways of thinking about the future of work and the spaces that support it.
Alongside the discussion, guests will have the opportunity to connect with peers, share perspectives, and be part of a new kind of dialogue shaping what comes next.
