Do you know all there is to know about GCUC? Here are fifteen things you probably don\u2019t know:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you say G-C-U-C fast it kinda sounds like juicy \u2013 which is where the pronunciation comes from. It\u2019s how all the punny stuff started\u2026<\/li>\n
  2. Every GCUC has a giant set of letters. You can usually find them on the stage. #iconic<\/li>\n
  3. GCUC\u2019s name was a nod to Stephen Colbert<\/li>\n
  4. GCUC never takes place at the same location. In the beginning, the conference was held in Austin for two years in a row, but not at the same venue.<\/li>\n
  5. GCUC is powered by coffee. It\u2019s how stuff gets done. Ask anyone.<\/li>\n
  6. When we\u2019re asked how to spell GCUC we use this acrostic: Goat Cat Unicorn Cat \u2013 keeps things interesting.<\/li>\n
  7. GCUC USA falls on or around Cinco de Mayo and Jacob\u2019s (of Office Nomads) birthday. There\u2019s always an occasion for #tequila&cake<\/li>\n
  8. If you send the crew a juicy coworking photo, chances are high that you\u2019ll get a surprise back!<\/li>\n
  9. Over 800 people attended GCUC China in 2015.<\/li>\n
  10. GCUC is the most understaffed conference in the world. Every year it is run solely by Liz Elam and one other person\u2026generally assisted by an intern or two.<\/li>\n
  11. Adam Neumann, founder of WeWork, spoke at the very first GCUC conference.<\/li>\n
  12. GCUC attendees have been inside firetrucks, built human pyramids, and squeezed themselves into some questionable places. Only at a GCUC conference will ten people cram themselves into paper canoes and two-person tents for the sake of a scavenger hunt.<\/li>\n
  13. Turnstone has supported GCUC since its start.<\/li>\n
  14. For the first time ever, in 2017 GCUC will be offering global sponsorship packages.<\/li>\n
  15. Last year we held a ~200-person rock-paper-scissors tournament. It was epic. Thanks Neuner<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
