Day One
The conference
A full day of keynotes, panels, workshops and roundtables, with plenty of time built in for connection. We bring together the people shaping coworking and flexible workspace alongside fresh voices from outside the industry, because that’s where the most interesting conversations happen.
Day Two
Coworking tours
On day two, we take things out of the conference room. Join guided tours of coworking and flexible workspace venues across the city, meet the people behind them, and see the industry up close. Rather explore on your own? We’ll have a list of recommendations to make the most of your time in Manchester or London.
Why should you be at GCUC UK?
GCUC UK attracts a genuinely diverse crowd: operators, developers, landlords, investors, newcomers and seasoned industry figures, plus voices from outside the coworking world altogether. That mix is what makes the conversations worth having.
Over two days you’ll get into the ideas, challenges and opportunities shaping the industry right now, through keynotes, panels, workshops and roundtables that are built to be useful, not just inspiring. And because the same people keep coming back year after year, the connections you make here tend to actually go somewhere.
What I enjoyed most about GCUC Manchester was the diversity of attendees and operators. Frankness of discussions on the panels.
Alexandra Livesey
ex-COO, Clockwise now MD of Mantle Space
As a first timer at GCUC I was unsure of what to expect but being in a room with likeminded connections providing collaborative discussions and insightful talks was hugely beneficial for me. Meeting new people, hearing about their flex workspace journeys and feeling like your opinion mattered was a wonderful experience. Looking forward to the next GCUC!

Always enjoy the GCUC events. The content is reliable and it's one of the better events for networking as everyone is very open to chatting.
Lee Zweig

Invaluable opportunity to connect with industry peers.
