Wavenet Connected at GCUK Manchester: a global gathering for coworking innovators placeholder thumbnail

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.
