<\/p>\nANYONE interested in exploring the benefits of coworking is invited to a free \u2018come and try\u2019 week from July 5 in the new Workspace365 building in Torquay.<\/p>\n
The event offers complimentary use of a flexi desk throughout the week and a range of events aimed at introducing the public and businesses to the impressive space now occupying part of the former Quiksilver HQ in Baines Crescent.<\/p>\n
The Coworking Week begins with a mandatory sign-up session on Monday, July 5, from 9am to 2pm followed by a Q&A panel with guest speakers at 1pm.<\/p>\n
Other activities during the week include a meditation workshop with Letitia Brooks of The Inbodied Self on July 6, a \u2018Wine Down\u2019 on July 7, \u2018Lunch and Learn\u2019 on July 8 and official launch on July 9 from 7.30pm.<\/p>\n
Workspace365 general manager of leasing in Victoria, Irina Gershkov, said the week was designed to introduce the space to the community and it would be abuzz with activity.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole idea of Coworking Week is to give people an opportunity to come and try before they buy and get a feel for not only the space itself, but also the community we are building there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCoworking, especially since COVID, is the new way a lot of people are choosing to work and we\u2019ve seen there is a niche in the market in Torquay for the services we offer in terms of being a little bit more professional, a little more corporate.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow is a great opportunity to get in while it\u2019s still fresh, while the community is establishing itself and you are coming in from the ground up.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Workspace365 offers a range of serviced office and coworking solutions, meeting rooms, state-of-the-art facilities, a highly-skilled front of house team, and fast and secure internet with an IT manager on-site.<\/p>\n
There is also access to a fully equipped kitchen, lockers and showers, as well as regular networking opportunities, a social event calendar and on-site dining options such as the recently opened Sou\u2019West Brewery.<\/p>\n
Ms Gershkov said Workspace365 was building a symbiotic environment where businesses collaborated and referred business onto one another.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about creating a cohesive environment where people actually enjoy coming into the office and it\u2019s a professional environment,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople come and plug their laptop in, or plug their computer in, and away they go.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs much as there is that social element, absolutely, it\u2019s also designed to build professional networks and relationships where businesses are helping each other to grow.\u201d<\/p>\n
