Frontline Future
Beekeeper, a mobile-first collaboration platform designed specifically for frontline workers, announced Frontline Future, a virtual summit dedicated to the frontline workforce. On May 6, 2021, industry leaders from Europe and North America will join Beekeeper for keynote talks, interactive workshops, and in-depth panels to discuss the future of the frontline workforce.
Frontline Future will be a one-day global event, exploring the rise of the frontline workforce and how companies can leverage mobile collaboration tools to engage and empower these essential workers. Attendees can join this summit either through a dedicated track—operations, HR, IT, or customer—or customize their conference experience through an à la carte option.
Frontline Future will include: latest industry insights on how leaders in frontline industries can increase engagement, agility, retention, and safety in the workplace; interactive sessions with other experts about digital transformation, how to develop a fully integrated tech stack, and complying with evolving security regulations; customer success workshops to discover how to make the most of the Beekeeper platform to create a fully connected workforce; and opportunities to network with over 1,000 global frontline leaders, analysts, and thought leaders.
The conference will also host a Frontline Future Innovation competition. This competition will bring together frontline-focused startups to compete before an esteemed panel of judges including Julian Riebartsch (Digital Tech Fund BTOV), Beekeeper board members Julie Allegro and Philipp Stauffer (FYRFLY), and Juan Muldoon (Energize). The winning startup will receive a trophy, be named Frontline Future Innovation Award 2021 champion, and get a guaranteed spot in the Beekeeper acceleration program where they will be listed in the Beekeeper Marketplace and engage with over 1,000 companies around the world.
