    The workplace and workforce in America is changing, and will continue to change as we move further into the twenty-first century. Many of these changes are due to technological advances, and others result from shifts in the numbers of workers, and their ages, ethnicities, educations, and so forth. 

    The challenges presented by the complex picture of the changing workforce are considerable and are viewed by many in corporate America as being a major risk management issue, undefined, and no different than other external or environmental risks organizations face every day

    Join us for this round-table as experts from Haworth, Herman Miller, and Steelcase will examine the following:

    • How are organizations changing and why?
    • What are the technological and organization influences that will shape the “office of the future”?
    • Examples of new shifts that have taken place? What are companies doing?
    • How does the mixed generational workforce (Millenials, Gen X’s, Boomers etc) affect the built environment?

    Learn what you need to know to be aware and keep up with the changing workplace in order to provide a facility that can attract and retain competitive workers.

    Cleaning products are everywhere in our homes and offices: on workstations, countertops, furniture, clothes, floors, windows, and floating through the air. In our war on dirt and germs we may often actually be making things worse.

    Most conventional cleaning processes and products used in the past are petroleum-based and have dubious health and environmental implications. Instead of opting for cleaning products that annihilate everything in their path, there are plenty of natural products and methods that a Facility Manager can employee to ensure a clean, sanitary facility without the toxic side effects.

    Join us as we discuss cutting edge ideas, services, and products to learn how!!

    The new Dali Museum, which opened on January 11, 2011, house the priceless collection of Dalí's work, which is the largest outside his home country of Spain.   

    The 66,640 square foot facility was designed by internationally acclaimed architect Yann Weymouth of Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum, Inc. (HOK).  (He worked alongside architect I.M. Pei on the renovation of the Louvre in Paris.)  The entire museum is reflective of Dalí's unique juxtaposition of classical and fantastic elements. A huge glass structure flows forth from a "treasure box" housing the artwort and a spiral staircase (resembling a strand of DNA) greets visitors as they enter the new museum.

    Join us for an "insiders tour" of this Tampa Bay treasure and hear from the Architects, Designers, and Museum Director how this unique faciility went from "surreal dream" to "surreal reality"!

    Space is limited, so sign up early!!
