Week 32, 2020

This week we share 9 updates you may have missed, 2 podcasts you may want to hear and 1 video you may find interesting.

πŸŽ‰ Coworking Day 2020 video becomes a series.

A group of us recently called for video-recorded answers to 4 questions around coworking’s impact in your local communities.Β 

Due to the immense number of videos received, and the impactful stories and observations they share, we didn’t want any voices to be left out.

And so instead, we’re going to be releasing a series of videos, with the first one going out on Coworking Day, (follow #CoworkingDay on social to see it first) with more being released over the coming weeks.

This also means that we’ve removed the deadline and enabled rolling submissions, so that even more coworking folks can share their answers, stories, voices and insights. So if you haven’t, get involved here.
