Kane Willmott and Eyal Lasker on Multi-Location Operators and Europe's Advanced Market

What happens when you bring together operators and industry insiders who've just experienced the most eye-opening coworking conference in years? This week, Jamie and Gio are joined by Kane Willmott and Eyal Lasker for a deep dive into Coworking Europe— and the conversation is full of surprises, market insights, and real talk about where the flex industry is heading globally. Over 500 people gathered in Berlin for what many are calling the best coworking conference they've attended. Kane and Eyal share what made it so different from North American events, why the European market is years ahead, and what operators everywhere can learn from how the rest of the world does flex. We talk about: - Why multi-location operators dominate Europe while single-location indies thrive in North America - How European operators commonly own their buildings—and why 25-year UK leases drive 10% flex market penetration - Kane's take on profitable consolidation versus distressed asset roll-ups - How Flexspace is building an AI assistant trained only on your occupancy data If you've been curious about what the global flex industry looks like beyond North America—or why Europe is so far ahead—this episode will shift your perspective on what's possible.
