Learned so much about coworking and community at the Global Coworking Unconference Conference! &#8212; with Michelle Craven Rohlf at National Airline History Museum<\/p>\n<p>And it truly was the best conference I had ever been to. So when the time came to buy Early Bird tickets for GCUC 2015 in Berkeley I jumped right on it. Skip to April 2015 and I get a call from my accountant\u2026about taxes\u2026and I panicked. I had to sell my GCUC ticket, I needed to pay the tax man. So I sold my GCUC ticket pretty quickly (thanks Stephanie) but then I immediately had \u201csellers remorse\u201d; what was I thinking! I said it was the best conference I had ever been to, so why would I not do EVERYTHING possible to go again? Attending GCUC has had a significant, positive impact on my business over the past year. Again, why would I not go?<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, there was another option to purchase an early bird priced ticket and lodging through <a href=\"http:\/\/gcuclegacysite.wpengine.com\/blog\/copass-camp-san-francisco-a-californian-adventure-gcuc\/\">Copass Camp: San Francisco<\/a>. I jumped right on it and booked my flight. I\u2019m coming to GCUC 2015 in Berkeley! Yay!<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s why I\u2019m pumped about attending GCUC 2015:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I will make new \u201cbusiness\u201d friends and connections and continue to be a part of this wonderful, supportive Global Coworking Community. The Connections I made last year have proven to be invaluable resources to help me continue to grow <a title=\"Cowork Waldo\" href=\"http:\/\/www.coworkwaldo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cowork Waldo<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I can always continue to learn new \u201ctricks of the trade\u201d and apply them to my 2 year old business. I will admit that I don\u2019t know everything and there is still so much to learn about the Coworking Industry.<\/li>\n<li>I am really excited about all of the <a title=\"Agenda\" href=\"http:\/\/gcuclegacysite.wpengine.com\/agenda\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new features at GCUC this year<\/a>.\n<ul>\n<li>Camp GCUC for newbies will be such a great opportunity for anyone new to the Coworking business. I wish this would have been available when I was starting out.<\/li>\n<li>The Legacy Unconference is going to be the bomb. Who better to learn from than each other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>The speakers, the vendors, the attendees, the food, the furniture, the parties; I\u2019m so glad I won\u2019t miss a second of it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So look for me at GCUC Berkeley \u2013 I\u2019ll be the one in KC gear \u2013 say hi and let\u2019s \u201cconnect\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Melissa Saubers In May of 2014, GCUC was held in my hometown, Kansas City, Missouri.
