GBConnect Event with AngelShack - Gauteng

The Future Office: Rewilding Work for Purpose and Performance

With guest speaker Lianie Minny, Workplace Strategist & Interior Architect

GBCSA and AngelShack are delighted to invite you to the next GBConnect, taking place in Johannesburg.

In a rapidly evolving world shaped by AI, climate urgency, and shifting work cultures, how do we design office spaces that truly serve the people who use them?

Lianie explores a bold new vision for the future workplace—one that moves beyond efficiency and aesthetics to embrace purpose, presence, and natural intelligence. From “buildings that breathe” to nature-inspired design, and from decentralised power in the built environment to the role of AI as a creative co-pilot, this talk invites professionals across disciplines to reimagine the office as a living, collaborative ecosystem—where people thrive, not just work.

Come join us for an afternoon of learning, conversation and networking, as we explore the critical connection between green buildings and their occupants.

We look forward to hosting you on this special occasion!
