Audiem, Mako and Neat launch the WX Hub at the Workplace Event

At this year’s Workplace Event 2026, three organisations are coming together to tackle a problem most workplace teams feel every day.

The workplace is not one thing.

It is the interaction between people, space and technology. Yet most solutions still look at these in isolation.

The WX Hub is designed to change that.

Audiem, Mako Interiors and Neat are combining their expertise to create a single, joined-up exhibition experience. One that reflects how workplaces actually operate, not how they are often sold.

• Audiem brings insight from employee feedback at scale
• Mako Interiors brings deep expertise in workplace design and delivery
• Neat brings simple, powerful technology that connects people wherever they are

Together, the WX Hub explores how these elements overlap, where they clash, and how they can be aligned to create better workplace experiences.

This is not a stand built around products. It is a space built around questions.

What happens when space design doesn’t match behaviour?
What happens when technology creates friction instead of flow?
What happens when people are expected to adapt to systems that were never designed for them?

And more importantly, what does better look like when these things are considered together?

Alongside the exhibition space, the WX Hub will host a series of short, practical seminars across all three days. Each session focuses on real challenges workplace leaders are dealing with right now.

A different kind of exhibition space

The WX Hub is built to feel less like a stand and more like a working environment.

A place to stop, think, and connect the dots between the decisions being made across workplace, facilities, HR and IT.

If you are attending the Workplace Event, come and see how People, Space and Technology play out when they are treated as one system rather than three separate problems.
