Communication areas of tomorrow Communication areas of tomorrow
Hall 4.0
A new theme was making its debut at the last Paperworld: Together with Stuttgart’s Fraunhofer Institute (IAO), Messe Frankfurt will again be presenting the newest findings in Hall 4.0, within the framework of a special show featuring presentations, meetings and training sessions in the office of the future.

In the context of their research project Office 21®, the Fraunhofer Institute dealt with the question of how to design tomorrow’s office and communication areas in order to exploit the potential of office work to the full.

"Numerous employee surveys have shown that they perceive discussions and meetings as inefficient and annoying. The optimisation of meeting room design, maybe the creation of integrated communications areas, in conjunction with a change in meetings culture, can make them more successful and communications processes more productive", Stefan Rief, project manager of the Fraunhofer IAO explained.

In various spatial concepts, designed by the IAO, visitors to the special show can gain an insight into the office and communications world of the future. Top manufacturers of conferencing technology will supply the special show with innovative products such as electronic pens, electrochromic glass surfaces, for the projection of a variety of content, as well as complete audio and video systems.
Presentations
In addition, daily presentations featuring the technical equipment of tomorrow and the organisational integration of conferencing in today’s office environment, in the industrial, administrative and service sectors, take place.

Lectures and round-table discussions
Lectures and podium discussions given by expert lecturers from the manufacturing, retail and service sectors are an additional feature of the special show. The Conferencing area can also be used for bilateral discussions.
