GCUC UK London 2025: That’s a Wrap!

First things first, a massive thank you to the incredible UK team that made GCUC London not just happen, but shine. Emilie, Lizzie, Jessica, Ash, and the stellar crew of volunteers you guys are appreciated!

Also a huge shoutout to our sponsors who helped underwrite the event (check them out here) and make it all possible. And of course, to every single person who showed up with energy, curiosity, and a willingness to connect, you are what makes this community special.

Sold out. Again.

That’s three years in a row. London continues to lead the way and with another sold-out crowd, it’s clear we’re going to need a bigger venue in 2026. Sorry Emilie but consider this challenge accepted.

A Special Nod to Vanessa, Our MC

If you were in the room, you felt it. Vanessa kept the day running on time and taught us all a little something about celebrating succinctly. Prepare your hands. Two claps. If you know, you know. (If you don’t, shoot us a note. We’ll point you to the video. It’s worth it.)

WIN Is a Win

We were thrilled to highlight the WIN (Workspace Intelligence Network), an operator-owned and operated data initiative. This program ensures transparency, ethical reporting, and real-time, real numbers shared back with operators via third-party aggregation. It’s exactly the kind of tool the industry needs, and we’re crossing our fingers for a U.S. rollout soon.

Koral Brought the Fire

Hands down, the standout session came from Koral, whose keynote challenged the crowd with a bold new take: Join brands, not buy brands. He dropped one memorable line after another:

“Brands can’t serve modern customers with outdated approaches.”

He broke down the customer journey from feeling to moment to memory and framed branding through the lens of community:

• Culture = acquiring community
• Content = attracting + activating community
• Real community = retention

A total mindset shift. Powerful, practical, and perfectly timed.

Panels, Podcasts & Big Announcements

The rest of the day was packed:

• Thoughtful panels diving into the future of flex work
• A community lunch where Floc announced their UK expansion
• Small-group roundtables that sparked deeper, more personal collaboration
• A live podcast recording with Caleb and the Flexspace.ai crew

Cheers, Tours & What’s Next

From post-event happy hours to workspace tours around London, we kept the vibe strong well after the sessions wrapped. Now we’re digging into your feedback and NPS scores to fine-tune what comes next.
