By the end of the seminar you will have a better understanding on what the term neurodiversity means, the neurodiversity movement and how neurodivergences can impact our daily lives. The CPD will then look at some of the guidance and legislation that has been published which you can refer to in order to support your decision making. Based on the guidance and our own research into Human Conscious design, the CPD then explores the built environment and how to design it for neuro-inclusion, topics covered include: the building position and layout, wayfinding and signage, transitions, acoustics, lighting, fixtures, fittings and furniture, floor finishes, air quality, the impact of colour choice and the importance of quiet rooms.🕑: 10:50 AM - 11:20 AMAcoustics- Beyond the SurfaceHost: Stephen Pierce-Koala AcousticsInfo: An introduction to the critical role acoustics play in workplace performance and wellbeing. Acoustics specialist Stephen Pierce will explore how sound behaves in interior environments, covering topics such as impact sound reduction, reverberation control, and the relationship between flooring systems and acoustic performance. The session will translate acoustic theory into practical design considerations, helping architects and designers better understand how material choices influence comfort, focus, and compliance in modern workplaces.🕑: 11:30 AM - 12:00 PMPanel Discussion: "Future Works-What does the Workplace Look Like Now?"Host: John Wallace Info: A forward-looking conversation with architects, designers, and workplace specialists exploring how the role of the office is evolving. The panel will discuss the realities of hybrid work, how workplaces are being redesigned for both focus and collaboration, and what employees now expect from the environments they work in. Topics will include wellbeing, sensory comfort, and how design can future-proof workplaces as work patterns continue to change. 🕑: 12:10 PM - 01:00 PMDesigning Before It’s Built – VR, AI & Visualisation DemonstrationHost: Rob van de Wetering- Pcon- Incline Space Info: A live demonstration of how we help clients explore and refine spaces before construction begins. Using VR technology and AI-supported visualisation, we’ll show how architects, designers, and developers can experience materials, layouts, and design decisions in an immersive environment. This approach allows teams to test ideas, visualise material combinations, and align stakeholders earlier in the process — reducing late-stage changes and supporting faster, more confident design decisions. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/belfast/office-futures-2026/100001984973241399 - **Event Categories**: Art, Business, Workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 54.88, max: 54.88, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Belfast - **state**: NI - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: BT1 4GA - **lat**: 54.5985369 - **long**: -5.928003899999999 - **full address**: BT1 4GA, 19 Arthur Street, Belfast, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Office Futures 2026 - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/5ace4be75173ced730d9f12137805f08ad06b434b18fe31bb9f78664e6619597-rimg-w1200-h600-dc333333-gmir.jpg?v=1775571837 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Office Futures 2026 being held? - **A:** Office Futures 2026 takes place on Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am to Thu, 23 Apr, 2026 at 01:30 pm at BT1 4GA, 19 Arthur Street, Belfast, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Office Futures 2026? - **A:** Tickets for Office Futures 2026 are priced at GBP 55 per person.
