OFITEC MEETING is a new OFITEC service that aims to introduce visitors and exhibitors to the latest trends on the market.

OFITEC MEETING encompasses two independent, yet complementary, activities: an Exhibition and Conference Debates. |

EXHIBITION |
Place: Hall 7
Free entrance |

The OFITEC MEETING Exhibition aims to highlight recent projects in which creativity and quality have been maintained whilst catering for the design factors that must necessarily exist within a working environment.
In order to demonstrate this idea, three different means of establishing a relationship between a working space and its uses have been identified. We have called them "conduct", "spot" and "bubble", based on the function of the corresponding design.
Each of these three typologies focus on the best ways of resolving the conditioning factors that derive from the ever-growing use of new technologies and that relate to aspects such as ergonomics (in order to ensure the well-being of the staff) and preservation of the environment (in order to ensure sustainable development).
The OFITEC MEETING '08 Exhibition has been organised by Pedro Feduchi. |
