We believe that great things happen when people connect face‐to‐face. That's why we work in‐person with each other, or with customers and partners, three days a week or more. When you're not spending time together in one of our offices or other workplaces – like at an Informa event – you get the flexibility and support to work from home or remotely. We work hard to make sure Life at Informa is rewarding, supportive and enjoyable for everyone.
