Global Coworking Unconference Conference 2012

I just returned from GCUC in Austin and I must say it was a wonderful event.  It was really great to meet and mingle with other coworking space owners and operators as well as people who are passionate about the idea even if they aren’t running a space yet.  I asked many of the people I met to share with me why they love coworking and now I will share their thoughts with you.  Check out this slideshow!

  • Time frame for classes is lunch time and evenings on the weekdays, and mornings and afternoons during the weekends
  • Cheaper ticket prices when class participants buy their class ticket together with friends
  • Complimentary tasty snacks and beverages offered during all of our classes
