Our associates know the 'where, when and how' and the 'why'. Having ex-pat representation on the ground in the US, to introduce everyone you need and coordinate activities can be a real game changer.

Whizard Summit, Boulder, CO, Oct 2nd-4th
Mark Mitchell and his team of expert speakers, delivered three days of thought provoking insight, and latest trends within the Building Materials Manufacturing industry. An engaged audience, shared real market challenges and opportunities with the expert panel, and received meaningful, actionable feedback and latest thinking, on how to outsmart the competition with effective tactics, many of which are easy to implement. This is the best conference of its kind I have attended, and I highly recommend that British and European manufacturers should consider attending the next Summit in April 2019.

Kansas City Create Coworking Record
August 9th was International Coworking Day. One hundred and ninety-five local entrepreneurs, government officials, nonprofits and community members gathered at PlexPod in Westport, Kansas City to create a Guinness World Record for the largest number of coworkers in one space, working quietly together for thirty minutes.
Melissa Saubers, founder of the Kansas City Coworking Alliance said "Community, collaboration and serendipitous collisions are all part of the beauty of coworking. Coworking is all about is the people. It’s not about the space, we don’t care about square footage or any of that, we care about the people and so this whole event was really about the community and the community did this. Coworking is defined as, people from different businesses or organizations working side by side".
Mayor Sly James took the stage to announce the achievement and address the group, validating the crowd as the city’s “true changemakers.” The future of work is changing, James said, acknowledging the culture of coworking as one of “collaboration” and “connection.”
