\u201cThe Global Coworking Unconference Conference comes at a time when the coworking sector has undergone rapid growth both internationally and locally. It is an exciting opportunity to examine the emerging workplace model, share knowledge, foster our coworking community and create industry connections. We\u2019re proud to promote Australia\u2019s coworking industry and this event will play an important role in shaping the next chapter,\u201d explains Krauskopf.<\/span><\/p>\n

The innovative conference, sponsored by the City of Sydney, will include curated tours of Sydney coworking spaces, an inspiring agenda of keynote speakers and panels, as well as an \u2018unconference\/mastermind\u2019 format where participants can share knowledge and learnings in an informal setting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Liz Elam, GCUC Founder and conference keynote speaker, believes the coworking sector has an opportunity to lead the workplace wellness movement and embracing wellness is crucial to ensuring the future success of the coworking model.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCoworking is an industry centred around people – and the ability to ensure the wellness of those people, beyond just physical but also mental and emotional wellness, is going to be how future coworking spaces will be judged. The loneliness epidemic is a global issue and I believe coworking is part of the solution. The opposite of loneliness is community, and community is at the very heart of coworking. This is something I\u2019m excited to delve into as part of the upcoming GCUC Australia conference,\u201d says Elam.<\/span><\/p>\n
