A firm fixture for the onoffice team will be the Unofficial Orgatec After/Party on Thursday 25 October from 9pm – 4am at Alter Wartesaal, next to the Dom cathedral. The party is hosted by onoffice together with Colebrook Bosson Saunders and Surtio, with live music, DJs and drinks aplenty.

Meanwhile at the fair, aside from perusing the latest products by 600 office interior suppliers at Orgatec, there are lots of other features to take in. The show’s Trend Forum talks and panel discussions will follow two themes this year: International Best Practice, looking at various successful office designs around the world, and Modern Working Concepts, focusing on global trends. At the Office and Architecture Night on 26 October, fair visitors and the general public can explore 15 offices in the city between 6pm and midnight.

Orgatec takes place in Cologne from 23-27 October 2012. See you there!
