Simon Moore the COO at Serendipity Labs shares some takeaways from the recent WorkSpaces conference in Napa.

Core notes: Flex is universal, flex as an extension of corp HQs, direct > brokers, best-in-class > global networks and how Gable, Deskpass, Desana and Upflex are a growing part of the conversation.

Samantha McClary from the British Council for Offices shares that GPE have acquired the 44k sqft building called The Gable (not to be confused with booking platform Gable) from The City of London Corporation.

The objective is to refurb and add to their 200k sqft cluster of fully managed and HQ space within the W1 area of London. GPE CEO Toby Courtauld mentioned that they aim to grow the portfolio to over 1M sqft by 2030.

Jamie Russo delivers a masterclass on lead sources on her Everything Coworking podcast, exploring what platforms like Deskpass, LiquidSpace, Gable, Peerspace, Flexspace.ai, Google Maps and Syncaroo do – and why they may matter to your coworking business.

Liza Mash Levin shares how Upwork saved 56% on the cost of their flex workspace program by switching to Gable. While they don’t say if the spend per booking went down, they did tout a 66% adoption rate, 360 facilitated gatherings and over 1.2k bookings logged.

A great example of a platform executing on connecting enterprise demand to flex spaces.
