Join SPS at Amazon AWS’ Fifth Avenue workplace in New York City for a curated, one-day experience designed for leaders redefining how work gets done.
Together, we’ll examine how human-centered design, hospitality, and AI-enabled technology converge to produce actionable business insights and transform workplace experience into a strategic advantage.
You’ll leave with fresh insights, practical takeaways, and a clearer roadmap for transforming how work happens within your organization. If you’re responsible for shaping workplace strategy, performance, or experience, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

- Discover how leading organizations are designing experience-driven workplaces that boost performance and engagement
- See how AI, data, and analytics are translated into clear, decision-ready insight
- Learn from real-world examples spanning culture, operations, and employee experience
