We’re excited to announce that we will be attending GCUC UK (Global Coworking Unconference Community) in London this October 2025, the ultimate gathering point for the global coworking ecosystem.

We are proud to announce our participation in the upcoming BISNOW Office Leasing & Occupier Demands event, taking place in London. As the UK office market evolves in response to hybrid working trends, rising expectations from tenants, and increased demand for smarter, more flexible workspaces, this event brings together the key players shaping the future of commercial real estate.

We recently had the pleasure of attending GCUC UK Manchester, the premier global conference for the coworking community. It was an incredible experience it was! Our team, represented by Lee Zweig and Matt Pyle, spent the day engaging with a diverse and inspiring mix of professionals from across the coworking ecosystem. From forward-thinking workspace operators and cutting-edge technology providers to designers, strategists, and investors, the event was a vibrant hub of innovation, collaboration, and future-focused thinking. A day of insight, energy, and human connection GCUC UK Manchester delivered exactly what the flexible workspace sector thrives on: community and connection. We were blown away by the level of insight and passion in every conversation, with key themes emerging around hybrid work, user-first workspace design, sustainable operations, and the evolving role of workspace technology in enhancing workspace experiences. We’re walking away with not only new ideas and inspiration, but also valuable partnerships and a renewed sense of purpose in our mission to empower flexible workspaces through seamless digital infrastructure. A heartfelt thank you to Emilie Lashmar, Stormy McBride, Lizzy Kaplan, and the entire GCUC UK team for putting together such a dynamic coworking event. It was a privilege to be a part of it.

We were proud to take part in this year’s FlexSA Conference 2025, joining industry leaders, workspace operators, and flexible workspace professionals for a day of insightful discussions, dynamic exchanges, and future-focused thinking. The event was a fantastic opportunity to explore the key trends shaping the flexible workspace sector and to demonstrate how Connected is playing a pivotal role in supporting this transformation through intelligent, scalable connectivity solutions. A platform for connection and collaboration Representing Connected, Lee Zweig spent the day engaging with some of the most forward-looking minds in the sector. The conversations ranged from how to optimise the workspace experience for hybrid workers to the vital role of digital infrastructure in enhancing operational efficiency, cybersecurity, and tenant satisfaction. We also explored how connectivity and communication technologies are becoming core enablers of value in serviced offices, coworking spaces, and flexible workspace environments. As the demand for agile, tech-enabled working continues to grow, so too does the importance of having robust, adaptable solutions that can scale alongside your business.

We had incredible few days back in June at UKREiiF 2025 in Leeds! This flagship event continues to expand in scale and impact, uniting a diverse and dynamic group of leaders from real estate, infrastructure, government, investment, and technology with all united by a shared mission: to shape the future of the UK’s built environment through innovation, sustainability, and strategic collaboration. Representing Connected on the ground were Lee Zweig and Michael Clark, who spent three inspiring and action-packed days engaging with stakeholders from across the public and private sectors. From smart developments and urban regeneration projects to future-proofing infrastructure with cutting-edge technology solutions, the conversations we had were progressive, energising, and focused on actionable solutions. Connectivity at the heart of innovation Throughout the event,we proudly championed the vital role of intelligent, future-ready connectivity solutions in transforming the way the built environment is designed, delivered, and experienced. Whether in smart buildings, flexible workspaces, or large-scale infrastructure developments, connectivity is no longer just a utility, it’s a critical enabler of performance and growth. As the drive towards digital transformation in real estate accelerates, the need for secure, scalable, and resilient network infrastructure is more important than ever. At Connected, we’re passionate about delivering digital infrastructure that doesn’t just meet today’s needs but is ready for tomorrow’s demands.

We were proud to host a truly insightful and engaging event in May this year in partnership with one of our most valued collaborators, British Land who are a leader in shaping the future of commercial real estate (CRE) in the UK. This exclusive gathering brought together key voices from across the CRE sector, from flex space operators and technology providers to landlords, occupiers, and digital infrastructure experts. The focus? An open and honest discussion on how flexible workspace solutions and emerging technologies are transforming the way we build, manage, and experience the modern built environment. A space to connect and collaborate At Connected, we’re passionate about creating meaningful opportunities for industry collaboration, where decision-makers can come together to share insights, ask critical questions, and explore the latest flexible workspace technologies. This event was a perfect example of that mission in action. From the evolving expectations of occupiers to the growing importance of smart building connectivity, our conversations uncovered both challenges and opportunities in designing future-ready, people-first workspaces.

At Connected, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in flexible workspace, real estate technology, and human-centred design. That’s why we were thrilled to host the REaaS (Real Estate as a Service) Tribe at this year’s CREAM UK landmark event for the commercial real estate (CRE) industry that continues to drive meaningful conversations around the future of workspaces.
