How is AI going to help Flex & Coworking operations? Hear from Director of Coworking, William Sandford's thoughts on the matter #GCUC #Yardi #AI

To all researchers in my network working on coworking, new work, and collaborative spaces: I’m happy to share the Call for Papers for the RGCS Symposium 2026, organised by the Research Group on Collaborative Spaces (RGCS), together with the Chair of Urban and Regional Economics at Technische Universität Berlin, and ZeTT - Das Zukunftszentrum Thüringens. Our theme “Bringing Work Back In” invites us to look beyond the idea of coworking as a space — and to focus instead on work itself: its practices, contradictions, and transformations. The deadline for abstract submissions is November 23, 2025. The symposium will take place on March 5–6, 2026, at Technische Universität Berlin, with an optional OWEE day on March 7. We look forward to your contributions and to continuing this conversation in Berlin next March! More details in the post below. 👇

SXSW Sydney - Day 2 All things innovation, brand, AI, and the future of cities. Here’s a snapshot of key takeaways: 🟣 Creativity + AI 👀 Brands need to tell stories at greater speed and scale 👀 Integrating AI lets us focus on the client experience rather than admin 👀 The creative process itself won’t change because creativity is human, but how we deliver outcomes will 🟣 After Dark Experience 👀 We (Australia) only use half the day’s potential 👀 Thriving cities cater for life after dark - lighting, accessibility, safety, activation 👀 With Brisbane 2032 only seven years away, we need to rethink nightlife, design for generational shifts, and take stock of where we are Queensland needs to restump the house, we aren’t ready to paint the house or replant the garden. - John Collins, Queensland Nightlife Commissioner 🟣 Innovation City – Sydney’s Vision 👀 Sydney aims to be known as an Innovation City: green tech, future transport, creative tech, quantum, fintech, digital tech. Yet it currently ranks #17 globally. 👀 Real progress needs collaboration - Government + Councils + Industry aligning national priorities with city realities. 🟣 Reinventing Brand Experience 👀 Brand ≠ logo - it’s the whole experience, all touchpoints - from virtual to lived 👀 Staying relevant requires fluidity, empowered teams, and AI integration 👀 Reskill is a requirement 👀 Give people space to create impact, experiment, and reshape ways of working 🟣 Building an AI-First Future 👀 The AI hype is real and necessary. But lead with vision, not AI. 👀 Only 5 % of AI pilots succeed because people and processes come last. 👀 Focus first on - Strong processes and clear governance, business outcomes > technology outputs and growing your people and building trust Final takeaway? 👉🏼  AI is here to stay – start experimenting, stay curious, and keep collaborating. #SXSW #AI #Innovation #CityDesign #UrbanPlanning #LandscapeArchitecture #Placemaking #BuiltEnvironment #VisualDesign #Planning #PlaceDesignGroup
