10 Event Ideas for Your Coworking Space

Are you looking for new event ideas to keep things fresh in your coworking space? If so, you’ve come to the right place! This article will examine 10 event ideas for your coworking space that are sure to keep everyone interested and participating. Check them out below!

1) Workshops

Members can learn new skills and knowledge in workshops. You can cover anything from entrepreneurship to design thinking.

2) Panel Discussions

Another thing you can do is create a panel discussion featuring members of your co-working space and the community at large. Here, you could discuss hot issues such as how to obtain financing, scale-up, or work remotely. Increase attendance by creating a calendar on your website and encourage others to host their panels that are easy to browse or schedule events.

3) Networking Events

Help your members make valuable connections by hosting networking events. It could be anything from an informal meet and greet to a more formal panel discussion or mixer.

4) Collaboration Days

Encourage members to collaborate and work together by dedicating one day each month (or week!) to collaboration. It could involve group projects, co-working, or simply providing a space for people to come together and brainstorm ideas.

5) Member Spotlight

Showcase your members and their businesses by hosting a member spotlight event. It could be a panel discussion, Q&A session, or informal chat.

6) Community Service

Deliver back to your community by hosting a community service event. It could involve anything from volunteering at a local food bank to organizing a neighborhood clean-up day.

7) Alcohol and Work Sessions

Alcohol combined with exercise is a recipe for heart health. So, consider planning a race in the morning and then heading to a local café for wine and work in the afternoon.

8) Startups

Startups often require and seek advice on personnel recruitment and what to do. Fighting for resources against many larger firms requires startups to search for new platforms (for example, as of May 2022, angel. co has re-launched its hiring platform) and innovative ways to hire to remain competitive. Startups can target new approaches to recruiting.

9) Field Trips

Explore your city (or beyond) by organizing field trips for members. It could involve going on tours of local businesses, checking out new co-working spaces, or attending industry events.

10) Venture Capitalists as Guest Speakers

Invite a local venture capitalist to your co-worker’s area to discuss financing. Don’t forget to schedule some time for networking at the conclusion! For example, Capital Factory in Austin, Texas, links its co-working space with characteristics typically seen in incubators while still providing numerous sites where members may meet investors who can assist them faster.

Conclusion

We hope you found these ten event ideas helpful, and that you are inspired to try some of them out in your own coworking space! Remember, the sky’s the limit for events, so get creative and have fun! Happy planning!
