CoWorking Conference

Coworking's going to continue to diversify, permeating all sorts of different businesses and contexts. You already see it integrating with hotels, churches, wellness centers, and lots of specific niches. More niches!

I do think, however, we're seeing something of a consumerism hangover. Lots of us grew up seeing what happens when people accumulate too much stuff. We hear horror stories of hoarders and are forced to realize that owning too many things can quickly become a liability.

If you really want to dig into the sharing economy, I highly recommend @shareable. They're doing great work and looking at it from a bunch of different angles.

I’d look at human trends. Technology is cool, but at the end of the day, what really matters is us humans and the personal journeys that we are on.

I’d be looking at the trends of loneliness and isolation, as I believe it’s a highly solvable issue that people in the coworking world can benefit from focusing on. teapawt.net/tonybgoode/status/1080…

I’d be looking at trends in wellness. For too long, too many people have been raised without a basic understanding of their bodies, their feelings and how to communicate.
