The Hive will serve as the central hub of the Summit – a space designed for connection, collaboration and exchange.
Delegates will gather here for coffee breaks and lunches, with opportunities to build networks and strengthen relationships throughout the event.
The app enables connections and conversations to begin before the event and continue long after it concludes.
Alongside these opportunities, The Hive will provide a setting to meet Summit partners, speakers and those involved in the latest research – making it a dynamic and purposeful space.
The Hive Layout may be subject to change.

On the evening of 9 July, all delegates are invited to gather in The Hive for drinks and conversation.
This will be a relaxed and welcoming occasion to connect with peers, continue the day’s discussions and enjoy the shared spirit of the global IWG community.
The remainder of the evenings will be free, giving delegates the opportunity to set their own agenda and explore Birmingham’s vibrant canal side – with its many restaurants and bars located just steps from the ICC
