About This Event

Work Beyond Walls 2026 will run on 9 September 2026 at the Boiler Shop in Newcastle. The event is described as a living workplace experiment involving culture, technology, and space working together. Entry is free.

Two days. 300 workers. One experiment. Culture, technology and space working together. Free - Registration - Drop in for an hour or stay

Don't be shown the future of work. Be put to work in it.

For two days the Boiler Shop becomes a fully working workplace: settings you actually work in, workshops that challenge how you think, talks that change what you ask for, and a live survey reading the room in real time. You participate, you don't spectate.

CLOCK ON (09:00, both days) - arrival runs like a shift, not a show. Your badge starts your WorkPulse record.

HANDS ON (all day) - workshops run in the settings themselves. Sit in it, argue in it, work in it.

THE PULSE (live) - a wall showing how 300 people actually feel about work, updating in real time. Paul Glaister reveals the full two-day findings in the closing session (16:30, day two), benchmarked against the region's only workplace dataset.

CLOCK OFF (17:30, day two) - the closing social: street food, a bar, a band, a geet canny atmosphere.

WHO IT'S FOR - architects and designers (bring the client who needs convincing); business leaders (your office is costing you people - spend a day in one that isn't); HR and people leaders (ammunition for the workplace conversation you keep having); public sector and estates (benchmarks, suppliers and proof).

BRING A PLUS ONE - every registration can carry a guest. Bring the person who owns the space.

Entry is free. Registration is required. Talks and workshops are free but capacity is limited - add them to your order when you register.

Brought to you by Workpattern and its partners.
