Recently, technology companies have shifted from decades of traditional office environments (cubicles and private office space) to collaborative open spaces with a unique balance between work and play. This new way of thinking has set new standards for the way we work. Is this environmental shift working? Is it increasing the amount of innovation and productivity? What has the impact been on recruitment and retention? And why have so many companies adopted this shift?

Join us on October 1st as we take a peek inside 5 local technology companies (located in the US Bankcorp Tower) and hear how the shift has effective their companies and their employees. The evening will conclude with a networking reception hosted by Unico Properties.

Company Tours Include: Survey Monkey, New Relic, Webtrends, Incomm & Insight Global Inc.
