Better Together: Birmingham Coworking Collective
Over several months Forge has been working with some awesome coworking spaces to build the Birmingham Coworking Collective! The BCC officially launched this week and even though the launch is much different than we expected (thanks COVID), we are still excited to strengthen the coworking community in our city.
Birmingham Coworking Collective is part of a beta program through the Global Workspace Association. GWA is the connection-based resource for shared space operators, workplace strategists, real estate investors and service providers to stay connected, current and competitive in the flexible office industry.
With the launch of the collective, we’re also launching a Coworking Passport as well! This gives you a chance to schedule one day of work at each of the participating spaces. You can learn more about the space, see what kind of perks there are and how it works for you.
What’s the mission of Birmingham Coworking Collective?
- Build and strengthen the coworking community in Birmingham by growing awareness of coworking in our city
- Empower those starting out coworking
- Enrich the experience of those currently coworking
- Connecting the creative engines behind each space into a diverse, vibrant network committed to good work
- Provide resources to new coworkers
- Promote collaboration and cross-programming among our spaces
- Learn from one another as unique community spaces, we will make Birmingham a better place to work.
