work arrangement in 2024: Embracing the Virtual Future

In the ever-evolving world of work, 2024 is set to bring some exciting changes, particularly in the realm of hybrid work culture, space planning, and technology. Despite the lack of a specific, publicly available list of 40 AV/IT companies delving into these trends, key players such as Syscomtec and Hilscher are actively involved in technology trends and partnerships relevant to hybrid work and space technology.

Syscomtec, a distributor for Vogel’s, offers solutions in signal management, digital signage, and displays, making them a significant player in the AV/IT sector. Hilscher, on the other hand, focuses on industrial communication and automation solutions, contributing to the advancement of technology in the industrial communication sector.

As we move towards a more hybrid work environment, the role of technology in enhancing workspaces becomes increasingly important. One such technology is LED display technology. From smaller LED displays in break rooms, where employees can stream content or play video games, to larger LED video walls, these displays are transforming office spaces.

LED video walls offer several advantages over other display technologies, including their brightness and flexibility in shape and size. They are being added to lobbies, training rooms, employee lounges, and boardrooms to create more engaging, modern work environments. This modernisation is aimed at boosting employee morale and satisfaction, as well as incentivising employees to return to traditional corporate offices, a trend that many companies are embracing in 2024.

However, not all employees are eager to return to traditional offices. Some are resistant to the change, creating a challenge for office managers. To address this, the focus is on creating workspaces that are not just functional, but also comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. LED video walls contribute significantly to this, offering a versatile solution that can display greetings, upcoming events, digital artwork, and more, all while enhancing the overall aesthetic of the office space.

Moreover, LED video walls are being configured to support Microsoft's new ultra-wide (21:9) Teams format in conference rooms, further integrating technology into the heart of workspaces.

In the realm of thought leadership, 2024 sees a focus on Esports, Streaming Technologies, Visualization Technologies, and Next-Gen Audio. George Walter, Senior Executive at Digital Projection, is among those discussing trends in hybrid workplace culture, space planning, and technologies for 2024.
