1 ORGATEC COLOGNE, THE LEADING INTERNATIONAL TRADE FAIR FOR THE MODERN WORKING WORLD

2 EVERYTHING IS CHANGING. THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE WORKING WORLD Our working world is experiencing a profound transformation. Because of demographic change, the workforce is getting older, while at the same time young digital natives are entering the job market. The pressure on companies to be innovative is increasing, while a personal work-life balance is becoming more and more important for workers. The distinction between work time and leisure time is becoming increasingly blurred due to the ongoing revolution in technology. Everything is changing. As a supplier of products and services to the modern working world, you must always keep an eye on these changes and respond to them with innovative products and concepts. ORGATEC is one of the most important places where you can get an overview of all the latest changes and present your latest solutions. As the sector s leading international trade fair, ORGATEC is the platform for the trends and concepts that will shape the working world of tomorrow.

3 EVERYTHING STAYS THE SAME. ORGATEC IS AN ENGINE OF CHANGE Here the entire sector can gain an overview of the most important trends, the latest developments and the prospects for the future of the market and you, as a supplier, can present your solutions for the modern working world to highly qualified trade visitors from all over the world.

4 DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL. ORGATEC FURNISHING Intelligent furnishing solutions are at the heart of the working world of tomorrow. With the help of these solutions, companies will be able to react to the changing requirements of the work environment. At the same time, the solutions they choose will immediately reflect their corporate identity. In this way, the atmosphere within the company will get an important positive boost, and the company s public image will gain positive momentum as well. Your most important platform for the presentation of these solutions is ORGATEC. This is where you can present your innovations for the future to sector participants from all over the world from start-up founders to decision-makers from middle-sized companies and purchasers from companies listed on the DAX. The product range for classic office solutions will be on exhibition in the ORGATEC Office area in Halls 6 to 9, but the trade fair is not limited to this segment alone. Comprehensive furnishing solutions for the perfect atmosphere in transit lounges, hotel lobbies, restaurants, theatres and cinemas will also be presented to trade visitors in the ORGATEC Contract area in Hall 10.2.

5 THE BIG PICTURE. ORGATEC SPACE In the planning of modern work environments, countless details influence one another. For example, the floor covering that is chosen is as important for the selection of the lighting as it is for the overall room acoustics. The ORGATEC Space Competence Centre takes this holistic approach into account. In this newly created area in Hall 11.2 the segments for lighting, floor coverings and acoustics will be combined to form a stunning showcase, and the visitors attention will be effectively directed to your innovations for the room concepts of the future.

6 THE FUTURE WILL BE MOBILE. ORGATEC MOBILE One aspect above all others will define the working world of tomorrow : mobility. Mobility doesn t just mean working outside of the traditional office; it also describes the flexibility of the actual office space itself. The products that are needed for this mobility ranging from software modules and mobile terminals to classic solutions for working on the go, such as briefcases and trolleys will have a room all to themselves at ORGATEC 2014 : the ORGATEC Mobile Competence Centre in Hall 11.2.
