Anne Olsen

Anne Olsen chats with Fanny Marcoux on A very special coworking podcast episode to dig into how she landed up in coworking, her (audacious) goals for The Shop and where the industry is going.

In the newest edition of Undercurrents (brought to you by Syncaroo) we explore the evolution of coworking revenue stacks, with actionable insights from Anne Olsen (The Shop Workspace), Meagan Slavin (25N Coworking), Sheila Burmistrova (Narra Collective), Sofia Stolberg (Piloto 151), Tobi Skovron (Cube.co) and Gregg Kackowitz (Bond Collective).

Anne Olsen shares that the Gowanus location of The Shop Workspace has now officially opened.

A four-hour virtual event for coworking marketers, operators, and community managers.

Led by Cat Johnson Co (who power communities like Coworking Convos, The Lab, and more) and featuring sessions by Dean Connell, Taylor Mason, Amanda Leffew, Garrett Tichy, Kristen Fields, Lauren Urlacher, Dani Corbett, and supported by Karina Patel and Anne Olsen.

Erik Karasyk summarized the A16z’s TECH WEEK event "Place Matters: How Tech Shapes the Modern Workplace". The panel, hosted at The Shop Workspace by Anne Olsen examined how smart systems, data, and design are creating the next generation of flexible workplaces that enhance rather than replace human interactions.

Panelists included Daniela Mallarino (Kisi), Francesco Decamilli (Uniti AI), TWIC’s very own Hector Kolonas (who also is a co-founder at Syncaroo) who emphasized how integrations and automations are "hidden heroes" for improving operations, and Ginger Dhaliwal of Upflex who highlighted challenges with extracting meaningful insights from vast datasets.

The discussion revealed companies are rethinking workplace experience roles to provide remote employees access to "Third Spaces" focused on hospitality and connection, with participants expressing desire for "emotionally responsive" technology layers that build loyalty and encourage return visits. Topics explored also included whether more intelligent physical surroundings could encourage people to disconnect from devices and connect more meaningfully with each other.
