At GCUC UK, we are shaping the future of work with bold ideas and meaningful action. As a leading force in the coworking and flexible workspace industry, we bring together the brightest minds, foster innovation, and create opportunities for real change.
This International Women’s Day, we’re thrilled to celebrate one of our own. Liz Elam, the unstoppable founder of GCUC, has been named one of the 10 Most Inspirational Women in the Flexible Workspace Industry for 2025 by office rental agency FreeOfficeFinder. It’s no surprise to us—Liz has been a trailblazer since day one, creating the largest coworking conference series in the world and championing the coworking movement before it was a buzzword.
Liz joins an elite group of visionaries, from Gabriela Hersham of Huckletree, Alexandra Livesey of Clockwise, and Niki Fuchs of OSiT, all pushing boundaries and making waves in the industry. Her impact? Undeniable. Her influence? Global. Under her leadership, GCUC has brought together over 40,000 people across 43+ conferences, making it the go-to hub for coworking leaders, entrepreneurs, and workspace innovators.
GCUC is built on community, collaboration, and bold ideas. It’s a place where conversations spark action, where change is inevitable, and where the way we work keeps evolving. With leaders like Liz at the helm, the future of coworking is looking brighter than ever.
It’s also proudly owned and run by an all-female team. Diversity in leadership fuels innovation, and GCUC is committed to making the workspace industry more inclusive, forward-thinking, and led by those who aren’t afraid to challenge the norm.
