ARCHITECT@WORK Kortrijk and Brussels return to familiar May month, launch Kortrijk officially started

6 September 2022

The preparations for the next edition of ARCHITECT@WORK Kortrijk have officially started. ARCHITECT@WORK Kortrijk returns to its normal organizational month and will take place on 11 and 12 of May 2023. The conclusion after ARCHITECT@WORK Kortrijk in 2021 could not be clearer, as all expectations of this tenth anniversary edition were exceeded! The figures showed that even slightly more visitors showed up than the previous, pre-corona edition (which already set a record). It proved how much people yearn for renewed face-to-face contact and how the specifier needs much more than just online information.

First edition of ARCHITECT@WORK Brussels is a resounding success

20 June 2022

After a difficult journey due to the pandemic, the first edition of ARCHITECT@WORK Brussels could finally take place on 1 and 2 June. In sheds 1 and 2 of Tour & Taxis, 208 exhibitors were impatient to finally discover what Brussels had to offer.

ARCHITECT@WORK Brussels ready to kick off

20 May 2022

It was a very long wait for the very first edition of ARCHITECT@WORK Brussels and there is only one culprit: the pandemic. Being pushed back each time, finally the stars are now aligned. The very first Brussels edition will get off to a flying start and take place on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2^nd of June on the renovated site of Tour & Taxis.

ARCHITECT@WORK Brussels is getting ready for its very first edition with the central theme "Future Proof"

3 May 2022

For this first edition the location is well chosen. The redeveloped industrial site around the former goods station Gare Maritime and the warehouse Royal Depot offers a clear architectural added value. ARCHITECT@WORK is presented in the well-known fixed stand layout of the concept, with a framework of free catering, various meeting places and numerous peripheral events and seminars. In terms of what the exhibitors have to offer, the strict condition that what the visiting prescribers see must have innovative values.

First edition of ARCHITECT@WORK Brussels will be Future-Proof

9 February 2022

Every ARCHITECT@WORK is organised under a predetermined theme and this will be no difference for the very first edition of the event in Brussels, which will take place two years later than originally planned due to the pandemic. On the 1^st and 2^nd of June 2022 in Tour & Taxis the theme for the visiting (interior) architects will be 'Future-Proof'.

Looking forward to face-to-face contact during a live edition of ARCHITECT@WORK

On May the 11th the Belgian Security Council confirmed what many were eagerly waiting for: the official permission to reorganise trade shows as from the 30th of July is a fact. This means that we can officially confirm that the 10th edition of ARCHITECT@WORK Kortrijk will take place on the 21st and 22nd October, 2021.

ARCHITECT@WORK BRUSSELS 2020 postponed to 2021

27 October 2020

With a top program of speakers, a nice offer of exhibitors and a healthy interest from the prescriber, we were completely ready and enthusiastic to make the 1st edition of A@W Brussels a success.

In practical terms, ARCHITECT@WORK can be fully set up in a corona-proof environment, with respect for the safety of exhibitors and visitors. The A@W editions that already took place successfully in September and October have proven this as well.

But on Friday 23 October, new measures were issued by the government that focus entirely on limiting contacts, focusing on homeworking and calling for only essential travel.

In this context, we decided to postpone A@W to a date to be determined in 2021.

Keep safe.

ARCHITECT@WORK introduces next level lead generation by adding a brand new hybrid dimension to all events!

11 June 2020

Face to face contact has always proven to boost the success of your relationships, whether they are personal or business related. It is the type of contact which enables us to pick up on body language, it satisfies our basic need for human interaction, encourages transparency and is the best basis for a solid, long-term business relationship.

This is the reason why we are convinced that now, more than ever, is the time to invest in face to face business opportunities such as ARCHITECT@WORK. Our flexible and cost-effective concept enables you to showcase your latest innovations, on various locations throughout Europe and beyond, to a community of architects and interior designers.

All of which will be brought in the same convivial and familiar atmosphere, but above all in a safe environment, respecting all preventive measures. Your health and safety is of the utmost importance to us!

Over the last couple of years however, we have also been working towards finding a good balance between solid, innovative on-site content and strong additional digital elements.

Recent developments accelerated our research and ARCHITECT@WORK is proud to announce that next level lead generation will be introduced from September 2020 onwards, as part of our strategic plan to add a hybrid dimension to all our events!

ARCHITECT@WORK – LOCAL IS THE NEW GLOBAL

13 May 2020

It goes without saying that COVID-19 has all of a sudden taken hold of all our lives, whether that be from a professional or private point of view with the extreme, yet necessary (confinement) measures that have been taken throughout Europe and the rest of the world.

The good news is that these measures have proven to be successful – the curve has flattened or is flattening – and multiple, phased exit scenarios are under construction in the different countries that we are active in.

We are positive and confident that our unique concept will once more prove its value: every single ARCHITECT@WORK is hosted nationally/regionally, right at the beating heart of a strong community of architects and interior designers.

22 April 2020

It is with regret, but after thoughtful consideration, that we inform you that we have taken the decision to postpone the organization of ARCHITECT@WORK Brussels a second time around.

The situation that led to the original change of date from May to August, announced on March 26th, has since the announcement of the National Security Council yesterday fundamentally changed. ARCHITECT@WORK Brussels will be re-scheduled at a later date in the best interest of the exhibition and the wellbeing of both our exhibitors and visitors.

We are all in this together!

24 March 2020

COVID-19 has taken grip of all of our lives, whether that be from a private or professional point of view and it goes without saying that your health is a priority to our organization.

That is why our team is currently focusing on re-scheduling all Spring editions (Oslo, Luxembourg, Toronto, Brussels, Lyon, Barcelona and Madrid) of ARCHITECT@WORK to a later point in time, Fall 2020 or Spring 2021 to be exact.

1st edition ARCHITECT@WORK in the capital of Europe

10 July 2019

ARCHITECT@WORK is organized in 15 countries and 30 cities. Given our international growth, the next logical step is to put the European capital on our A@W map. ARCHITECT@WORK will be present at the Tour & Taxis venue every second year starting from 2020.
