What’s next for workplace in Aotearoa? WORKTECH 2025
Media
- What do tenants really want from their space right now?
- How are economic shifts and constrained budgets shaping commercial priorities?
- Are landlords and occupiers even speaking the same language when it comes to defining value?
These are the kinds of questions we’re constantly navigating — and why Spaceworks is proudly sponsoring WORKTECH Auckland this August.
“This is not a light decision. Sponsorship means cost. Time off the tools. Time away from project delivery. But we believe it matters.”
Why this sponsorship matters (and what we’re bringing back for our clients)
In this economic climate, we have to be razor-sharp about where we invest.
Every event we attend — let alone sponsor — comes with a real cost. Not just financially, but in terms of our time, our focus, and our availability to clients.
So when we say yes to something like WORKTECH, it’s because we genuinely believe it brings value. To us, and to the people we work with.
At Spaceworks, we don’t do design for the sake of it. Every project we take on is about solving a real business problem, whether that’s improving productivity, supporting team culture, getting a lease across the line, or making smarter decisions around capital expenditure.
“Design isn’t just about space. It’s about solving the right problem.”
But to keep solving the right problems, we need to stay connected to what’s really happening in the market. That’s why WORKTECH is worth showing up for.
This year’s conference dives into the forces shaping commercial real estate, hybrid work, and workplace expectations. We’ll be tuning in to:
- How landlords are adapting to changing tenant expectations
- What return-to-office strategies look like beyond the headlines
- How hybrid work, wellness, and technology are influencing design decisions
- What’s different (and what’s not) between Auckland and regional centres
“Good design comes from good listening. And we’re here to listen.”
We’re not attending for visibility. This is a chance to challenge our own thinking, pressure test our ideas, and sharpen how we support our clients, wherever they’re based and whatever their goals.
Keen to join us?
We do have a handful of VIP discount codes left available for clients and friends of Spaceworks.
Email jana@spaceworks.co.nz and we’ll send through the details.
