Sussex Coworking Retreat 2016
It can feel lonely, leading your community. Imagine if you were part of a close-knit group of peers who share your ambitions.
Join us at a gathering of 20 coworking community organisers, for two nights, in the beautiful Sussex countryside.

Additional Information
Why is this happening?
Jon, founder of The Skiff, felt it had been too long since he caught up with people like you from other coworking communities. He and cofounder Anna have a 12-week-old baby and are trying to avoid travelling for work.
Alex Hillman is in Brighton speaking at a digital product business conference (http://ltvconf.com) that Jon is organising later that week. When Jon first met Alex in 2010 he was considering closing The Skiff; Alex inspired Jon to keep going. Having a few years head start into the world of Coworking we can all benefit from spending more time in Alex's company.
What will we do?
We'll have time and space to get to know each other properly. We'll have one or two structured activities. You can suggest more if you like. We'll get out into the Sussex countryside for some lovely walks. We'll consume some good food and drink. We'll all leave with solutions to some tough problems and some fresh ideas to take back to our communities.
When will it start and finish?
We'll arrive at around 5pm on Sunday 3rd. We'll leave by 11am on Tuesday 5th.
Where will it be?
