COWORKING UNCONFERENCE ASIA
Vietnam - 4-5 March 2021
As we dive deeper and deeper into how community is done well, we’re considering how the coworking world can leverage technology to build human relationships and therefore build better businesses too. How can we move beyond the superficial and sometimes artificial world of the “social network” and into a world of impact, meaningful connections?
Join us in March 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.
*Refundable* Early Bird Tickets are now available!

2021:
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.
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 our community with one guiding principle: “Show me what you do so I can do it too”. We’ll help you engage your community in all its configurations so you can go deeper, faster
INTERACTIVE UNCONFERENCE
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. It’s your event; you’re the expert on what you want to learn about.
UNIQUE SOCIAL EVENTS
It won’t just be a party. Let’s bring connection to a whole new level with a range of social activities… so you meet people in new and different ways and get to explore Vietnam. Developing your network doesn’t have to feel like work.
Conference Themes
COWORKING: From Winter to Spring
Covid-19 has been devastating to coworking spaces in the short term…but Spring is coming. Demand for local, flexible offices is poised to explode as people emerge from confinement, and we need to be ready. Everything from health and safety, new revenue models and business generation, and tech enabled connection are on the table.
COLIVING: Building better communities
Coliving is emerging as legitimate challenger to traditional residential models in the same way coworking did to office space a decade ago. This push comes from the same two factors: a desire to feel more connected, and to access exceptional locations at affordable rates. Asia is break new ground in this sector.
Cogiving: SystemS for social impact
What can coworking do for the world? CU Asia creates space for changemakers to come together at an industry level to see how we can leverage our ecosystems to make positive and significant impact in our communities. Please see last years Coworking Manifesto to see the work of the 2020 edition to create a framework for local action.
TECHNOLOGY: Leveraging for community
Covid-19 has forced us all to be a lot more creative in exploring the links between technology and community. New forms of online gatherings, communications and culture creation have emerged in the past few months out of necessity. Many of you have been leading the way on this, and CU Asia will be diving into this in Vietnam..

A NOTE ON OUR PRICING
We strive to keep CU ASIA ticket prices as low as we can. Our members come from a wide range of economic situations, so for some our tickets feel expensive (especially when adding in travel costs) while others comment that our prices are very low for the event we put on. We are priced 50% lower than comparable coworking conference, which is a reflection of our commitment to inclusivity!
