Optix shares some interesting insights from KWENCH and Suite Genius about building a coworking community including the popularity of morning-based events (over happy hours), why curating your community intentionally matters, and how to build a digital community (while preventing digital exhaustion).

What does it take to build a thriving coworking community beyond just events and mixers? Join Optix for a thoughtful conversation exploring the future of community building with special guests Caleb Van Der Kooi from KWENCH and Chris Pereira from Suite Genius!

The Optix team sat down with Tessa Mcloughlin, the Founder and CEO of work and culture club KWENCH, to learn more about how she’s building a purpose-driven community of 450+ members in Victoria, Canada.

Join the Optix team for a special edition of What’s New in Optix: Automations! In this session, the team will be sitting down with Caleb Van Der Kooi, General Manager at KWENCH, who will be sharing how he uses Automations to save time and boost productivity.

How KWENCH is automating member communication, invoice follow-ups, task management, and more in their coworking space using an integrated tech stack and Optix Automations.

I love how the brand set up 30+ automations, and reduced their teams workload by over 5000 actions in just 60 days. Task automation (and data-synchronization) is going to define the new kings and queens of community-focussed spaces. Calling it.
