Women Who Cowork Early Birds Get the Worm (and an Elevated GCUC Experience)

When was the last time you allowed yourself to slow down and reconnect to what drives you?

Was it at the last Women Who Cowork retreat?

If so, you’re due for another round of self-care in a circle of community, inspiration and support. And we’ve got you covered.

We’re excited to partner with GCUC Canada to take the next Women Who Cowork Retreat to the stunning Banff National Park, October 19-21 in the days preceding the GCUC conference.

We’re already buzzing with anticipation about this extraordinary event partnership and we want you to be there to experience it with us!

Be an Early Bird

Early bird ticket sales end this Thursday, August 9, which happens to be International Coworking Day. If you plan to join us in Banff, now is the time to get the best price on your retreat ticket.

We’ll decompress, connect, learn, share, relax and rejuvenate together. Then, once we’ve reconnected to our calm and centered selves, we’ll be prepped and ready for GCUC Canada, which we urge you to attend.

The Canadian version of GCUC, which is produced by Ashley Proctor, is laser-focused on community, authenticity and furthering the global coworking movement. It’s an unforgettable, must-do for space operators working to build spaces for people to thrive in.

The Women Who Cowork event is an extraordinary opportunity to retreat with our community before shifting into GCUC Canada mode.

As early birds to Banff, we’ll already be open, inspired and in a collaborative space before the conference even begins. We will be primed and ready to move into deep business learning, sharing and connection with our global community of coworking enthusiasts. If you’re going to GCUC Canada, purchase tickets to the conference at canada.gcuc.co.
