WeWork

We're back at Sifted Summit in London! From September 30–October 1, come find us at the WeWork lounge. Grab a desk, catch up on emails between sessions, and connect with peers from across the startup ecosystem. And on October 1, our VP & General Manager UKI, Natalie Lovett, will join the panel “The workplace in the age of AI: rethinking culture, collaboration and physical space.” The conversation will explore how AI is changing the way high-growth teams work together and what that could mean for the role of the office. We're looking forward to taking part in this year's conversation.

"One thing is clear in LA: it's a flight to quality, but what we're really saying is flight to experience." At last week’s Bisnow Los Angeles Office & Workplace Summit, Harrison Checkley joined Gina Abbott of Stockdale Capital Partners LLC, Brian Smith, CFM of Titmouse, and Kristi Buchler of IA Interior Architects to discuss how an evolving workforce is reshaping the office—and what tenants value most today. "The office has to give people a reason to be there, and that's not only beautiful space to collaborate in, it's the building, the neighborhood around it, the restaurants, the whole day. Couple that with light speed innovation and ever evolving RTO policy and its clear why flex went from a 'should we' five years ago to a standing line item in portfolio strategy. Companies want space that moves with them, in places their people actually want to be." — Harrison C. Thank you to the Bisnow community for bringing together the people thinking differently about what comes next for the LA office market.

Last week, we hosted our WeWork Welcome Reception to kick off this year’s CoreNet Global EMEA Summit in Munich. It was an opportunity to bring members of the CRE community together for an evening of relaxed conversation and connection. Beyond catching up with familiar faces and meeting a few new ones, the evening gave us a chance to exchange ideas on the future of work ahead of a busy summit week. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to connect with us!

What happens when a marketing team puts AI to work? Across SEO, content, email, paid media, and UX research, AI takes on more of the repetitive work, freeing people up to focus on strategy and creativity. And there's another unexpected outcome: more reason to get in the same room. Here’s a look at a week in the life of that team: https://we.co/4gWFuOI

Moving into a new office shouldn't come with a laundry list of setup tasks.

We handle the details and facilities so you get a seamless workplace experience from day one. Learn how WeWork helps small businesses thrive: https://we.co/3VisrOS
