The countdown to GCUC UK London 2024 has begun, and we are pleased to share our ultimate guide to help you make the most of this experience. Picture two days of nonstop inspiration, learning, and networking with the leading figures in the coworking and flexible workspace world.
This year’s venue is Convene at 22 Bishopsgate, a state-of-the-art office building in the heart of London’s financial district. Just steps from ten London Underground stations, our venue was carefully selected to provide a premium experience for GCUC London this year. With design influences from London Liveries and the surrounding historic architecture, it offers the perfect blend of the old and new—an ideal setting for GCUC.
As always, it promises to be an unforgettable event, featuring two days of inspiring keynotes, workshops, panel discussions, and tours. We have a strong lineup of sponsors this year, ready to enhance your brand and connect you with top decision-makers. Covering topics ranging from coworking trends to entrepreneurship and networking, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from industry experts and thought leaders within our extensive network.
One of the highlights of GCUC London is the Workshops & Roundtables, designed for interactive discussions and collaboration. These sessions offer a fantastic opportunity to share your own experiences and learn from others, forming a key part of what makes GCUC so unique. We are committed to ensuring everyone’s voice is heard, which is why we value these small group interactions within a larger event. Each Roundtable allows attendees to join discussions of their choice, blending community-driven dialogue with expert-led insights. Please check back frequently, as we are adding new speakers and finalising the agenda daily.
While we know our venue, Convene at 22 Bishopsgate, is exceptional, we are also organising a lineup of coworking tours. These tours are designed to provide a behind-the-scenes look at some of the city’s most exciting coworking spaces, offering insights into their design, operations, and community-building strategies. Once we have finalised the locations, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to sign up. Keep an eye out for tour announcements in the near future.
At GCUC, we believe in planning ahead. To make the most of your GCUC London experience, it’s essential to organise your day in advance. Prioritise the sessions and activities that matter most to you, and be sure to leave some time for spontaneous conversations and connections. We are particularly looking forward to Dean Connell’s session dedicated to uncovering the secrets of differentiating your competitive edge in workspace design. Freddie Fforde, the Founder and Managing Director of Patch, will be this year’s MC. He will guide you through the event, covering essential details and helping you navigate the conference.
Before heading to London, remember to pack your authenticity, listening skills, and curiosity to network effectively. Whatever helps you build strong connections and relationships, be prepared to engage with fellow attendees, speakers, and sponsors. We also recommend bringing a few essentials: comfortable shoes, a portable charger for your phone or laptop, and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated. A small notebook and pen for taking notes may also prove helpful—there will be a wealth of information to absorb.
With all the excitement and networking, it’s easy to overlook self-care. Make sure to take a moment to recharge—grab a drink, stretch your legs, and maintain your energy levels.
Finally, come with an open mind and a willingness to learn and collaborate. GCUC is about building relationships and sharing knowledge, so be prepared to engage with others and share your own experiences.
While preparation is key, also embrace the unexpected. Participate in our Workshops & Roundtables for a hands-on experience, and stay for the insights from industry leaders. GCUC London 2024 is an event not to be missed. With its unique combination of inspiration, learning, and networking, it presents the perfect opportunity to elevate your business.
