Remember when offices were simply where work happened? Five days a week, same desk, same routine. Those days are gone. Today's reality is more complex - and more interesting.
Hybrid work has fundamentally changed what we expect from our workspaces. Managing the fluid rhythm while maintaining productivity, company culture, and connection presents fresh challenges for every organization. If your workspace hasn't evolved in the past five years, you're likely facing some familiar pain points. Teams struggle to find the right spaces for different work modes. Meeting rooms are overbooked, with only a handful of people showing up in person. Monday's attendance looks nothing like Friday's. The patterns have shifted, but most spaces haven't kept pace.
The convenience of a home office can only be beaten with something extra. Our spaces need to improve people’s productivity, focus, and connection with their colleagues. The latter is the recent trend we can observe in research. Teams perform better when they come together physically to innovate and collaborate. People also crave more time with their colleagues in both formal and informal settings. So, how can leaders seize the opportunities that hide in these changes?
Rethinking workspaces for rapid change
On 15 October, Space Refinery and brainmove are joining forces with Beci to explore what future-ready workplaces look like. We'll talk about workspaces that respond to how teams actually work today - and how they'll need to work tomorrow.
Anton Maes, CEO of brainmove, offers 15+ years of workplace strategy experience supporting organizations like VRT, BMW, and DEME through people-first transformations rooted in behavioral psychology and change management. Katya Rablova, CEO of Space Refinery, brings insights from over 110 workspace projects across Belgium with established companies like Henkel, Devoteam, Aikido Security, Start It @ KBC, and Beci itself.
Together, they'll share practical strategies for turning hybrid work from a logistical headache into a competitive advantage.
What you'll discover
This session is designed for senior leaders, HR managers, and decision-makers at established Belgian companies who are ready to move beyond reactive fixes to strategic workplace transformation. You'll gain:
- Expert frameworks for aligning physical spaces with hybrid strategies and organizational goals
- Real examples from leading businesses that have successfully transformed their offices
- An understanding of how leadership support and change management drive adoption
- Practical steps to position your headquarters as a culture hub and collaboration engine
- Proven approaches to attract and retain talent with people-centered workspaces
You'll also have the opportunity to tour Beci's transformed headquarters, designed to support collaboration, connection, and community, and see these principles in action.
An evening of connection and insight
The event begins at 18:30 with a welcome drink, followed by keynotes from both experts, an interactive Q&A session, and a networking cocktail with walking dinner. Throughout the evening, you'll connect with fellow leaders navigating similar challenges while exploring how Beci's redesigned space fosters belonging and collaboration.
