Yesterday, I attended my very first GCUC UK and it was 💣 I am still processing everything I got to experience there, but I'll try my best to structure why this was a Thursday I'll remember for a very long time. 👯 People x Community First, my favorite thing about any conference I attend is always to meet and reconnect with people I admire for their work, passion, and dedication to push coworking further. Yesterday was all about that! So grateful to 👩🏻💻Emilie Lashmar, Lizzy Kaplan, Liz Elam, Stormy McBride, and all the volunteers who made this experience an incredible one. I loved reconnecting and catching up with Alex Young, Matt Miller (❤️), Suzanne Murdock, Carmen Lecuane, Matt Drinkwater, Dean Connell, Claire Carpenter, Lucy McInally, Jonny Rosenblatt, Caleb Parker, Zoe Ellis-Moore, Helga Moreno, Carmen Lecuane, Ivo Tabakov, Jessica Samson, Fiona Ross, Carlos Almansa Ballesteros, Matt Drinkwater, Elena Monserrate Diez (she/her), Sarah Travers, Haley Egusquiza, Brad Krauskopf, Justin Harley, Edward Crabtree and so many others! It was also an absolute pleasure to finally meet Freddie Fforde and Ben Newton, whom I admire for his incredible work with Patch. Another highlight of mine was to meet Arian Lewis from Kiln. We have not been in the US for a while so meeting Arian and learning how they are positively contributing to so many cities in the US through their spaces was incredible. (And I can't wait to learn more) 👀 Content I had the chance to attend GCUC to speak about a topic I deeply care about coworking teams. Over the last 9 years, we've done, with Coworkies, a tremendous amount of work to attract talents to the coworking world via our job board while also supporting them in growing their careers through educational content and experiences. Yesterday, all the sweat and tears we put into Coworkies was highlighted during a panel I loved contributing to: People Are Your Competitive Edge. The title is not even a question (Props to Emilie for that) because... THEY ARE. At Coworkies we say that "Great teams make Great Coworking Spaces" and we mean every word of it. Thanks, Vanessa Belleau MA MSC FRSA▪️ for an amazing moderation job on the topic. Cameron MacRae, Sarah Hayford, and Derek Lutz, it was an absolute pleasure to share the stage with you! Props for all your work and dedication. Beyond the panel I contributed to, there were plenty of other incredible conversations throughout the day on market insights, AI, Community, Design, or Experience. I loved that it ended on a very high note (something you don't see often in conferences) with a fireside chat between Liz Elam and Rob Teel on how and why Yardi invested in WeWork, it really felt like being an insider to the entire story. I'll stop here (although I could go on) but I look forward to experiencing more GCUC in the UK and beyond 🇺🇸 #coworking #gcucuk
