Origin & Growth
GCUC had it’s roots formed in meetups around SXSW in Austin, Texas. Led by Liz Elam, and with the help of an incredible team of international producers, GCUC expanded and is now hosting annual regional events around the world.
GCUC was brought to Canada in 2015, and the conference was launched in Toronto, Ontario. In 2016 GCUC Canada touched down in La Belle Province with a 3-day event in Montreal, Quebec. In 2017 the Canadian edition was hosted in Vancouver, British Columbia and in 2018 the first GCUC Canada retreat took place in the Rocky Mountains of Banff, Alberta. For the 5th annual GCUC Canada event we return to Toronto – the birthplace of coworking in Canada.
In 2019, we welcome anyone involved with or interested in;
Collaboration, business development, incubation, acceleration, coworking, community building, economic development, self-employment, the sharing economy, shared workspace, real estate, social innovation, startups, urban planning, the independent & remote workforce, workplace design, architecture, inclusivity, accessibility, sustainability and the future of work.
