Agenda

Check in, grab your badge and mingle with other attendees. Don’t forget to check out all of our awesome juicy sponsors.

Welcome to GCUC! Get the lay of the land and learn the flow. It is going to be a day jam packed of goodness.

Let’s talk about the nitty gritty. The industry is evolving and so are the financing methods. Do you boot strap, raise money, have investors, partner up or buy outright? Where are the known money pits and where exactly is the sweet spot that yields a profit? Come and see.

Grab a snack, meet some people, chat up some of our awesome sponsors.

Unless you are an IT guru- technology can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate (SO MANY OPTIONS). Here you will get a quick walk though on the software and hardware basics- you know- the stuff that you will need to keep your space up and running as well as the opportunity to Q and A with one of our industry’s Techsperts. (techexpert).

Grab some lunch and make some friends.

Its not kumbya but it is serendipitous. Friendships, partnerships, connections and opportunity are born from a well established community- but how do you build it? Monetize it? Turn it on its head with the coolest events ever? We kid- but really. Here at GCUC, not only will we teach you to build it, we will immerse you in ours. Hows that for a real time demo?

Grab a snack and some coffee and hurry back for a game and prizes.

Join us for some GCUC shenanigans (and prizes) that will test your knowledge and spelling capabilities.

Hate to say it- but its not just about the community. Community thrives in a well designed and activated space. Grab a cup of coffee and get ready to take notes. We’re not talking just furniture, we are talking well certified, biomemicry, instagramable shared workspace bliss. Are you ready?

It’s tough to differentiate in a market crowded with other kickass coworking spaces and executive suites! How do you make the most of your limited budget and push past category services and benefits ? It’s all about the brand! Come learn how to write your brand story and bring it to life through a unique user experience and across all communications.

Raising money, raising the bar and raising some cane. These are some boss ladies.

Grab a plate and sit next to someone new.

It’s trophy time, y’all. We are giving props to the people, places, spaces and things that make our industry juicy. Will you be one of them?

You exited…so… whats next?

There are layers to language that you might not know about yet. When we understand how your own, personal meaning language works, it can have a profound impact on your ability to connect with others and understand yourself at a much deeper level.

Give you brain a break, grab a cup of coffee and mingle with your new coworking friends.

How do you design your space to stand out?  Think designing at the next level. 2.0. if you will. More than just functional and pretty. Designing your amenities in, designing wellness in. #designofthefuture

Welcome back- we hope you are ready for a juicy unconference experience with a twist.

An unconference is a day of, crowd sourced content that is formed by the people for the people. You submit the the topics you want to talk about and the ones with the most votes become sessions! The unconference format is a bit less formal than a traditional session as it is meant to be an open conversation amongst the attendees in the room. Thats why we break into smaller groups. We have also curated topics that we knew you would find of interest.
