What really happens inside the room at GCUC?

If you’ve been, you know the magic isn’t just on the stage, it’s in the hallway conversations, the shared struggles, and the collective drive to build something bigger than any one operator.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on our massive 50th event in New York City, and we’re doing it with two leaders who experienced it from completely different angles.

First up, we have Sam Rosen, Industry Principal at Yardi. Yardi has become an absolute force in the flex and coworking space, and Sam is at the center of it — helping this industry understand itself like never before through real-time data, the groundbreaking new Coworking Index (launched at GCUC), and tools that are genuinely moving the needle for operators everywhere. If you’re not paying attention to what Yardi is building, you need to be.

Alongside Sam is Kane Willmott, co-CEO of IQ Offices. Kane brings that sharp, boots-on-the-ground operator’s lens to tell us what’s actually working — and what’s absolutely not — across markets, teams, and customers right now.

Together, we unpack the real conversations happening beneath the surface at GCUC 50. We’re talking AI, investment, shifting customer expectations, and the undeniable rise of landlord-led flex space.

We’re digging into what’s changed, what’s next, and why this community is stronger than ever. From post-COVID resilience to the future of coworking growth, this episode is a candid, energizing look at exactly where the industry stands today and where we are headed next. Grab a coffee and tune in!
