Map your future
WORK PANORAMA turns 10! In a fast-changing world, future literacy is key. Join us to explore how technology, values, and vision can shape a sustainable, human-centered future of work.
In a world defined by rapid transformation, future literacy is becoming a core skill — not just for leaders, but for all of us shaping the future of work. To mark the 10-year anniversary of the Vitra WORK PANORAMA, join Raphael Gielgen, Future of Work scout at Vitra, for an inspiring morning in San Francisco.
What started a decade ago as an oversized map to visualize the future of work has evolved into a globally recognized compass for navigating complexity and accelerating meaningful change.
This year’s edition, themed MAP YOUR FUTURE, explores eight essential fields of transformation — from skills-based learning and decentralization to generative AI, extended realities, and resource scarcity. Through real-world insights and bold foresight, WORK PANORAMA 2025 offers a curated look into how values, vision, and technology can converge to shape a more human, sustainable, and adaptable world of work.
Start your day with perspective, conversation, and great company.
