Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global technology
research and advisory firm, will host the ISG Future Workplace
Summit March 18–19 at The Westin New York at Times Square. The
event will explore the shifting boundaries between the physical and

technologies are creating opportunities for differently skilled
workers.
Day one of the event will feature an afternoon keynote
presentation, "A Commitment to Humanity: The New Responsibility of
Places for Work," by Amanda Carroll,
principal at global architecture, design and planning firm Gensler.
In her presentation, Carroll will explore the three overarching
themes driving the future of workplace design, and how future work
settings will embrace technological advances to maintain
competitive edge while being challenged to stay humane.
The morning keynote on day two will be delivered by Steve LeVine, future editor for the news website
Axios. Prior to Axios, LeVine was a Washington correspondent for Quartz, the
mobile-first startup launched in 2012 by Atlantic Media; a Future
Tense Fellow at the New America Foundation; an adjunct professor at

Street Journal. LeVine previously wrote for The New York Times, the Financial Times and
Newsweek.
The conference, produced by ISG Events, will include a series of
informative analyst presentations and expert panel discussions, as
well as an ISG Startup Challenge in the style of "Shark Tank" for
entrepreneurs pitching innovative solutions for the future
workplace. Among the startup contestants are Upflex, Vetty and
Werk. The startup challenge is presented in partnership with
Silicon Valley tech incubator and startup accelerator Plug and
Play.
A debate on "How Far Can Intelligent Automation Go?" will
feature Troy Campano, director,
Architecture, for Liberty Mutual, and Bettina Zerza, founder and principal of ZERZA,
an international architecture, urban planning, and design firm,
examining the digital future of work and what automation will – and
won't – really change.

Workplace Innovation and Employee Experience, Wells Fargo;
Neeraj Sahni, senior vice president,
Cyber Insurance, Willis Towers
Watson; Akiba Stern, partner,
Loeb & Loeb, and Don Watson,

"Every aspect of the current workplace is in flux, as mobile
devices, virtual reality, IoT and wearable technology are giving
employees unprecedented choice over how, where and when they work,"
said Scott Furlong, partner at ISG
and host of the event. "At the ISG Future Workplace Summit in
New York, we will examine what the
workplace will look like in 2030, and how the right applications of
artificial intelligence in marketing, sales and supply chains can
create value and increase profits and efficiencies over the next
decade."
