Orgatec 2014: virtual visit in 3 minutes: video, interviews and an off-the cuff comment. I posted some tweets in real time directly from Cologne, now I’m going to answer the usual questions you ask at a fair through pictures: did you see anything interesting? Are there any new workplace trends?

Let me state first that these are off-the-cuff answers, most personal and not yet worked out: impressions I return to you in their spontaneity through pictures, videos and interviews.  For  one can maybe grasp the essence of things in the first instinctive feeling…
As usual, I’ll appreciate any comments, opinions, criticisms and remarks from people who have visited Orgatec and not only them.
