Networking in a Coworking Community

Networking in a Coworking Community

Coworking spaces are the best places to network for your business. They combine the best aspects of personal offices and Open office environments. Constructive and creative conversations always occur in coworking spaces such as Capital Workspaces. This blog will explore how one can network in a coworking community.

1. Networking in a Coworking community by Attending Events

The first thing you can do is attend events hosted by coworking spaces. Coworking spaces and other community members often host events. Capital Workspaces hosts events like the recently hosted end-of-summer party to encourage networking. Examples of events you could attend at a coworking space include:

  • Meetups
  • Seminars on topics like leadership, start-up funding, or business strategy
  • Happy hours (drinks after work)

2. Networking in a Coworking community by Hosting Events

The second networking strategy is hosting events yourself. Hosting events is also a great way to meet people in your community. You can host an event at your coworking space or another location for the community. This can be for coworkers or the broader community. You can contact our staff to find out about hosting an event at Capital workspaces.

  • You can charge a fee for your event if it is business-related, but not everyone will want to pay. Consider hosting them on weekends or evenings when fewer people are at work—hosting your event on weekends or evenings results in better attendance.
  • Hosting free events can also help you get visibility and connect with more people. Attendance is sometimes better when an event is free. This strategy requires more time and planning on your end. It takes time and effort to promote these types of functions.

3. Engaging with Community Members

Lastly, engage with the community to host and attend events. Engaging with community members is one of the tremendous benefits of coworking. You can engage with our members in the common area. Capital Workspaces encourages community interactions. You can also engage with others on our social media platform. www.instagram.com/capitalworkspaces or www.facebook.com/CapitalWorkspaces

  • Talk to people
  • Ask questions
  • Share ideas
  • Invite people to events or activities you’re going to or are organizing
  • Share your knowledge

Capital Workspaces hosts “The Hub Podcast.” The Hub is a podcast where we can discuss and promote their business. This is also a great networking tool. If you would like to guest in our podcast, please reach out to podcasts@capitalworkspaces.com.
