“I’m incredibly amazed that the NextSpace community has been around for an entire decade. We’ve done so much to energize the local economy and we’ve had a lot of fun along the way. I’m excited to reminisce, tell a couple funny stories, and celebrate all the creativity and innovation of this unique community,” says Neuner.

These people continue to pave the way for what coworking will be in the future,” says current NextSpace Community Manager, Maya Delano. “We are hosting this event to honor NextSpace’s influence on the community in the past and present, and hear more about where we’re headed in the future of the coworking movement.”
