Gamecity Forecast: Is work still a place?

For many teams and companies switching to remote work brought up challenges in working together – as well as opportunities to try out more flexible concepts of work and work spaces. What can we take away from these experiences to shape the way we and our teams want to work together in the future?

Join Gamecity for Gamecity Forecast, a compact 2-hour-workshop-format, in which you’ll explore how the ways of working together in the games industry changed during the last year and what those changes entail for work environments.

Thomas Huth, Hamburg-based creator of progressive work environments, will join as guest expert to kick off the session with his thoughts on existing and new places of work. You’ll then team up in groups with other participants to exchange your views on current challenges, discuss possible approaches of rethinking work and workspaces and develop ideas together. The evening will end with an exchange of group outputs and an open networking session.

How to participate:

Are you already in the process of rethinking how you work together as a team – and where you do it? Are you already working on concepts about what to change about your work spaces?

Then join on June 9, 5-7pm for our first worksession!

This session is intentionally open to participants from different industries and from different company sizes so that every participant can profit from a wide range of perspectives. 50% of the seats are reserved for Hamburg games companies.

In order to create a productive workshop experience for everyone, this session is limited to 30 participants. Please only sign up if you already deal with this topic for your work place / company and if you can definitely make it to the session.
