Wozu noch ein Büro, wenn KI alles kann?

The event begins with a concise presentation by Linda Wienkamp addressing the question: “Why do we still need an office if AI can do everything?” The starting point is the observation that artificial intelligence is taking on more and more operational tasks, but does not create corporate culture. Linda Wienkamp will then use concrete examples from interior design, work organization, and cultural development to demonstrate why physical spaces do not lose their significance in the age of AI—but rather become strategically more important.

Three key topics will be addressed: First, why working entirely remotely is possible but does not automatically foster trust, a sense of belonging, and a shared culture. Second, how space, processes, and corporate culture must interact so that people choose to come, stay, and collaborate productively. Third, why this interplay can become a competitive advantage that neither AI nor competitors can easily replicate.

The event is aimed at founders, CEOs, decision-makers, investors, and leaders in the areas of location, people & culture, new work, and corporate development. It is particularly relevant for startups, scale-ups, medium-sized companies, and large corporations that want to make work in the AI era not only more efficient but also culturally stronger.

An open discussion is planned following the keynote presentation. Participants can ask their own questions, share experiences from their companies, and discuss together what role office spaces, meeting places, and designed work environments will play in the future for growth, employee retention, and innovation.
