Why GCUC’s Tactical Track Is a Must-Attend for Coworking Operators

By Stormy McBride On October 28, 2024 In CommunityGCUC MastermindCoworking EventsGCUC North America

Let’s talk about the real rockstars of coworking—the ones who keep the heart of our spaces beating every single day. You know who I’m talking about: the Chief Community Cultivators, Head of Tours, Master of Meltdown Management, Member Affairs Gurus, and everyone in between. The people who make sure that when the printer goes rogue, the coffee is strong, and the space is thriving, everything keeps running like a well-oiled machine. Tactical technicians if you will. 

IYKYK.

This one’s for you.

The coworking world may be fast-paced and ever-evolving, but the constant remains: it’s you who makes it all happen. From welcoming new members with a smile, juggling tour schedules, handling that (occasional) member meltdown, to creating vibrant communities that make people want to stay—you’re in the trenches, rolling up your sleeves, and building something amazing. Day in, day out. And we see you.

But here’s the thing: even the best of the best need a space where they can recharge, reimagine, and reconnect with others who get it. Who really get it.

Welcome to GCUC Boston’s Operations Room: Built for You

At GCUC Boston, we’re giving you the stage. We know that being in the business of coworking means wearing a million different hats, and sometimes, you need new ideas or simply the camaraderie of others facing the same challenges. That’s why we’ve created an entire track dedicated to you—the unsung heroes of coworking operations.

Introducing the Tactical Operations Room, a space designed specifically for those doing the day-to-day grind. This room isn’t just about listening to big-picture theory; it’s about getting into the nitty-gritty of what really works in the field. It’s a space where you’ll leave with practical tips and strategies you can implement the moment you return to your own space.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Actionable Insights: Sessions packed with real-world advice from industry experts and fellow operators who are also in the trenches. You’ll learn how to enhance member experience, streamline operations, improve retention, and more.
  • Problem-Solving Power: Got a specific challenge? Bring it to the room. You’ll be surrounded by peers who are doing exactly what you do, every day. This is where you’ll brainstorm together and take home fresh solutions.
  • Community for Community Builders: We often say coworking is all about community, but this track takes it one step further—it’s community for community builders. Operators from all over the world will gather, share stories, offer support, and build networks that extend far beyond the event itself.

Whether you’re the go-to person for onboarding new members or the one handling every little detail that makes your coworking space a second home for so many, the Tactical Operations Room is where you’ll find your people. You’re not alone in this, and GCUC Boston is here to prove it.

Owners & Dreamers: We’ve Got You Covered Too!

But wait, operators aren’t the only ones we’re thinking about. We haven’t forgotten the visionaries behind the spaces—the owners, founders, and investors who dream up these magical places and fund their future. At GCUC Boston, you’ll find everything you need in our Strategic Track.

This track is designed specifically for the business brains and big-picture thinkers behind coworking spaces. Whether you’re looking to scale, attract funding, or refine your long-term strategy, the Strategic Track will arm you with insights from industry leaders, financial experts, and fellow entrepreneurs.

More details are coming soon, so stay tuned for all the exciting sessions we have lined up for you.

Why You Need to Be There

Coworking is a team sport, and as much as you give to your members, it’s just as important that you receive support, too. The Tactical Operations Room is your chance to step out of your own four walls and into a room full of peers who know the highs, the lows, and everything in between. And for the owners and dreamers, the Strategic Track is here to support your vision and guide your next steps.

You’ll walk away with:

  • Fresh ideas to bring back to your team.
  • Practical, tactical advice you can use immediately.
  • A support system of fellow operators who understand the challenges you face—and are there to help you overcome them.
