Are you ready to unlock the potential of community spaces with us? Joining our host today are community experts Emilie Lashmar and Jessica Samson along with our Head of Design, Lisa McLeod. Emilie, Producer of GCUC 2023 and Jess, General Manager of PLATF9RM lend their voices to the evolving scene of community spaces, emphasizing the significance of connectivity in an increasingly solitary world. We explore how well-designed workspaces can usher in greater productivity while fostering a sense of belonging.

Ever wondered how to spot the right community for you? We take you on a journey through the process of identifying the ideal community, maximizing your experience—be it digital or physical—and joining the community. And that's not all! We also delve into the power of co-working communities in nurturing connections and triggering growth.

What does the future hold for community spaces? We consider the potential of these spaces, the need for flexibility, and the shift in power dynamics due to COVID, which has raised the likelihood of offices morphing into connection points rather than mere workplaces. Together, we reflect on the authenticity these spaces require and the sustainability aspect of co-living. So, strap in and join us on this enlightening journey to fully grasp the evolving dynamics of community-focused spaces.
