Day One
Day One brings the coworking and flexible workspace community together for a full day of shared insight, conversation, and connection. Through a mix of talks, panels, and discussions, the programme focuses on real operator experience and the realities of building and growing spaces across African markets. The day is intentionally paced, with space to connect between sessions, and closes with a networking drinks reception to continue the conversations.
Day Two
Day Two shifts into deeper, more interactive learning through workshops, roundtables, and facilitated discussions. Building on the themes from Day One, sessions are designed for participation and peer exchange, offering practical takeaways and honest conversation. With smaller groups and a slower pace, Day Two creates space to dig deeper, learn from one another, and leave with ideas you can apply immediately.

I enjoyed getting to connect with other space operators. The panels felt well-thought-out, each speaker brought a unique perspective, and I took away tons of valuable information.
