The revolution is here: companies are making the move to digital workplaces. The challenge, for those just beginning to those at the forefront, is to make the shift seamlessly & profitably.
The Digital Workplace Experience Conference addresses that challenge with thought provoking ideas, solutions, and best practices for the digital workplace of today and beyond.
This first of its kind event was conceived by two pioneers in the industry: Brice Dunwoodie, president of Simpler Media Group, publisher of CMSWire, and Paul Miller of Digital Workplace Group: a strategic partner for best-in-class digital workplaces.
For over ten years, CMSWire has covered the evolution of the digital workspace, providing insight and advice as companies navigate this newest work paradigm. Miller has spent 15 years as CEO at DWG amassing and applying expert research, measurement and peer learning. They envisioned The Digital Workplace Experience Conference as a unique gathering place to exchange ideas, best practices, new research, and offer premium networking opportunities.
