COMS (The Community Managers Summit) is a one-day event that brings coworking space community managers together to learn, connect, and celebrate their profession. It's a chance to share ideas, sharpen skills, and build meaningful relationships with others who understand the challenges and rewards of the role.
One day, one place, one mission: Elevate the work of community building in coworking spaces.
A one-day break from the daily grind, offering a chance to step back, reflect, and find inspiration in the insights and expertise of like-minded peers.
Community management isn't just about hosting events and keeping people happy—it's at the core of a coworking space's success. At COMS, you'll pick up smart strategies to boost engagement, build a stronger community culture, and contribute to the bigger picture.
Balancing people, operations, and daily demands isn't easy. COMS is a space for honest conversations about the realities of the job. Expect insights on setting boundaries, keeping up momentum, and staying engaged without burning out.
COMS is about real connections—not just handshakes and business cards. Through small-group discussions, interactive workshops, and shared experiences, you'll build relationships that matter.
COMS isn't just about what you hear on the day—it's about what you take back and put into action.
Investing in your community managers brings real results to your coworking space.
Your team is your coworking space. At COMS, they'll gain the confidence and know-how to take initiative, solve problems, and keep the community thriving—without needing to check in at every turn.
Happy, well-equipped community managers create better coworking spaces. By learning from peers, your team will return with new ways to enhance member engagement, solve common issues proactively, and foster deeper connections.
Coworking looks different everywhere—but the best ideas are meant to be shared. At COMS, your team will get an inside look at what's working in spaces around the world and how to bring those ideas home.
COMS is brought to you by Pauline Roussel and Dimitar Inchev, Co-Founders of Coworkies—a global job board and HR platform dedicated to coworking brands. Since launching Coworkies nearly a decade ago, we've been on a mission to make coworking better.

Back in 2015, we grabbed our bags and laptops, boarded a flight from Berlin to Milan, and began knocking on coworking doors wherever we landed. Sixty-seven cities and more than 550 coworking spaces later, one idea kept surfacing in every chat we had with operators: "Our team needs a place to swap notes—somewhere to learn from people who do this every day."
We started with print. Around the World in 250 Coworking Spaces turned those road-trip interviews into a big beautiful yellow book— that told the stories of the spaces we visited.
Then we initiated something smaller and in-person: the Community Managers Retreats. Four days in a quiet spot, a dozen managers, no slide decks. Just shared meals, whiteboard scribbles, and late-night sharing of stories and best practices.
COMS is the next step. Think of it as a working session scaled up: you help write the agenda, steer the workshops, and walk out with contacts you'll actually message on a Monday.
Are you ready to discover the British seaside with us? Brighton is located just 45 minutes by train from London. If you land in Gatwick, it's even a faster train ride.
A special experience calls for a special room. We found it at Projects, a beautiful coworking brand from Brighton that partnered with us to bring COMS to life. We will spend the day in The Globe, their beautiful round event space that offers an amazing overview around town.
