COWORKING UNCONFERENCE ASIA
Bali - 5-7 March 2020
After 5 successful years across the region – Malaysia, Thailand, India – we are bringing back CU Asia to where it was born.
Join us on the Island of the Gods for an interactive community experience like no other.
Together we’ll dive deeper, go wider, think more critically and act more urgently to create a brave new world of living, working and learning differently.
Don’t miss CU Asia 2020… or you’ll miss out on the magic.
2020:
A New Vision.
Reach Further.
We’ll host experts from industries and disciplines well beyond the coworking world… and explore their ideas and innovations using a distinctive coworking lens.
CO-Create more.
We’re involving more of our community in co-creating the experience… so they can trade more of their tools, talents, and experience before, during and after the event.
Get Real!
We’re raising the bar on conference content by including more interactive activities and more academic research, so the event is more critical, robust, intelligent and engaged.
Take Action!
It’s a great event, but what happens after? We’ll work harder to concretize the proceeds of our community… and turn powerful conversation and into real-world action.
Check out what's in store for you
A unique Experience.
DIVERSE SPEAKERS
Inspirational and aspirational speakers. From disciplines and industries all around the globe. They will rock your coworking world.
COMMUNITY IN ACTION
Experiences that engage the hands/head/heart of our community with one guiding principle: “Show me what you do so I can do it too”. We’ll help you meet your community in all its configurations so you can go deeper, faster.
INTERACTIVE UNCONFERENCE MEETUPS
Tell-alls. Hot seats. Experiential workshops. Curated content of consequence, and not just a parade of panels. Best of all, you get to decide what we talk about.
UNIQUE SOCIAL EVENTS
It won’t just be a party. Let’s bring connection to a whole new level with a smorgasborg of social activities… so you meet people in new and different ways and get to explore Bali.
Conference Themes
COWORKING: THE FUTURE OF WORK
We’ll explore how, why and what to do if you want to make real people top priority for your coworking community. From neuroscience to nutrition, learn about the importance of creating beautiful buildings that can also encourage resilience and potential in the workplace… and how this can make your space distinctive in the world of work.
COLIVING: Building better communities
How do we create deep connections between people, and then leverage the potential of that connection? What spaces do people really want to live and work in? What do they look like, feel like, act like? How do they work– behind the scenes– and how do we make them truly sustainable?
Cogiving: SystemS for social impact
What can coworking do for the world? This year we’re cultivating inspiration and aspiration in its highest form. We’ll try and tackle some of the world’s biggest problems– from mental health to climate change, to marginalization and rapid urbanization– so we can ask what our communities can do to make a difference, together.
Colearning: sharing skills & InSIGHTS
How can we all grow and encourage each other? How can coworking communities make this world a better place? How can we – together – provide a nourishing and activating playground for people… and how can this last well beyond the cocoon of the conference? We’ve got BIG plans to keep you connected in new and important ways.
