The future of work is still ever changing to the current state of the world and there’s no better way to learn, adapt and plan for it than at NeoCon, the global platform for commercial interior design. This year’s show takes place from October 4-6, 2021 at theMART in Chicago. This year’s theme of “the future of work” will showcase the latest innovations and services by leading industry brands and address contract design in the areas of Healthcare, Hospitality, Retail, Residential, Education, Public Space and Government. There’s a lot of ground to cover (8 floors and almost 1 million square feet of exhibition space, to be exact!) so be sure to register for NeoCon 2021 and start planning your itinerary.
