Remote work arrangements continue to grow in popularity and over the last eighteen months, it has been proven that remote work, well, just works. But, when it comes time for professionals to have a home away from home, or for those organizations that have clusters of staff spread across the country or globe, or for meeting with clients, boosting productivity, and just connecting with other workers, it’s nice to have a temporary space that helps you get the job done.
That’s where coworking spaces come in. These shared office spaces are in high demand in cities and popping up all over in more suburban areas as well. It’s easy to see why: Imagine having access to a spacious, modern work environment without the costly overhead of owning or renting one full-time!
What’s better, you can often rent these spaces for networking events, launch parties, and more. Here are just a few of our favorites that recently joined the EventUp directory!
