We're on the edge of our seats to welcome you to the 28th?London Coworking Assembly?Breakfast show.
Join us on the 16th of November 2022 at x+why in Holborn - (doors open at 09:00!)
Can coworking unf*ck Work??
As people in London's coworking and flexible workspace industry, you will want to say yes, coworking can unf*ck work!
But can all those shiny coworking spaces do anything to save people from the 20th Century factory we call the office??
To many of you reading these words,?'work'?means 'find a desk and open a laptop', but in London, millions of people go to work doing other things.

What can coworking do?
What can a coworking do to resolve many of the problems associated with work?
It might not solve them all, but what contribution can it make?
It means taking the thinking upstream, looking at the nature of work rather than just where we do it.
Join us on the 16th of November in Holborn for one of the most daring and honest debates we've done so far.
Everyone that runs or works from a coworking space in London is welcome to join.
The future of Work is right here and right now.?
COVID only accelerated how people worked, and coworking spaces have always been a little ahead of the curve.?
If you were around for the last economic crash of 2008, you would have seen the number of coworking spaces exploding.?
Some of you even opened your coworking spaces then.?
People starting LinkedIn posts in 2022 with "work is changing" or "let's get back to the office" are so far behind that they think they are first.? RSVP for the event at London Coworking Assembly HERE.

What to expect at November's edition of the LCA Breakfast Show
Our Emcee and band have been part of London's coworking and construction conversation for over a decade.
They have been researching, building and working in work and coworking from their roles in academia and the public and commercial sectors.
When you sign up for the event, we'll email you articles and podcasts to provoke your thinking so you can come to get even more out of the conversation at the event.

We are where we are
If you have been selling coworking space in London for long enough, at some point, someone will have told you, "work is something we do, not a place we go."?
And to be fair, that line SOUNDS even more accurate in our "remote first" Work from home (WFH) post-COVID economic apocalypse.?
But is it?
"Hard work never hurt anyone!"
But WFM and remote work has people working more than ever, even though they have 'booted the commute.'??
Companies will tell you,?"it's not a blame culture"?and "we trust our people", then install computer tracking software.
How does this dynamic work with the 'coworking ideal' of community, collaboration and innovation dream we market to London about coworking?
Inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility (IDEA)?are constant topics for the?London Coworking Assembly, and you'll hear companies proclaim,?"we are an equal opportunities employer."
Yet all the workspace and coworking conference panels are made up 80% white middle-class men talking about their latest idea - which was once someone else's.?
Do you think coworking in London is as diverse as we like to believe?
Are our London coworking industry and community promoting 'coworking for the 1%' or 'coworking for all?'

"People are our greatest asset."
Maybe coworking is working, and we're poking the box about nothing with this event??
Maybe you think,?"if it ain't broke, don't fix it", because you get to your coworking space, and it's like?"one big start-up family", and people are always saying,?"this IS a great place to work!"
Culture eats strategy for breakfast.?
And we're always building on the collective culture at?the London Coworking Assembly.?
Please come and participate at 100 miles an hour because?"teamwork makes the dream work"; this is the 28th breakfast event we've done, and the level of connection and conversation is both advanced and welcoming.?

2 年A paragraph from Mark Zuckerberg's redundancy letter to Meta. No dedicated desks for Meta hybrid workers. "Overall, this will add up to a meaningful cultural shift in how we operate. For example, as we shrink our real estate footprint, we’re transitioning to desk sharing for people who already spend most of their time outside the office.?We’ll roll out more cost-cutting changes like this in the coming months." #WorkAnywhere
Looking forward to this!
