Coworking Management in an Era of Automation | from HERE + Work Heights at Kisi Connect 2024

Coworking management practices are rapidly advancing with the integration of IoT security and automation technologies.
In this Kisi Connect 2024 session, Sneh Kadakia, founder and CEO of from HERE, and Sam Strauss-Malcolm, founder of Work Heights, talk about what it’s like to operate a coworking space in an era of automation.
By combining the feeling of a coffee shop and the productive energy of a workspace, Sneh and Sam are filling a gap for freelancers, small business owners, and other professionals who need a place to do their best work.
The speakers break down the essentials of successful coworking space management, including:
• Allowing flexibility
• Maximizing automation
• Developing a sense of community
What makes all those goals possible is an effective tech stack.
Sam and Sneh will fill you in on how building a stack that integrates automation technologies like Kisi gives coworking spaces much needed control over their guest and staff experiences. All of which ultimately allows for increased member engagement, retention, and advocacy.
