About GCUC

The Global Coworking Unconference Conference is the largest coworking conference series in the world.


Since 2011, GCUC (pronounced “juicy”) has brought together more than 7,000 game-changers from around the globe. We’ve hosted 29 conferences internationally (and counting). We’re experiencing unparalleled growth, just like the coworking industry itself.

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.

The GCUC Canada Experience

 

GCUC Canada is four full days of keynotes, panels, performances, workshops, an Unconference, networking events, receptions, group tours and a fabulous partner showcase.  The crowd is unique, and filled with experts in every field – our attendees join us from around the globe.  GCUC Canada is one-of-a-kind, and Toronto is one of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the world.

Canadians certainly know how to collaborate, and we often hear that GCUC Canada is unlike any other conference our guests have experienced.  That’s our secret recipe working its magic on the entrepreneurs, designers, coworking space owners, corporate executives, real estate visionaries and industry enthusiasts who converge to talk about their ideas and insights as we shape the future of work together.
