Co-working spaces are becoming increasingly popular, and for good reason. They offer several advantages over traditional offices, including increased flexibility, social interaction and cost-saving.
Web Summit attendees might consider using a co-working space in between a busy schedule of networking and attending talks, as opposed to working from their hotel bedroom or lobby.
By opting for a co-working space, you’ll have somewhere quiet to hop onto calls or even arrange meetings, be able to meet other professionals who are also working remotely, and have access to amenities such as Wi-Fi and printers/scanners.
Besides, this is an opportunity to take advantage of the location. Many co-working spaces in Lisbon are located in busy areas with lots of things to do.
