Blogpost #5: Bringing Your Professional Community Together: Why You Should Host Your Next Event at QCowork

The landscape of work is changing rapidly, and along with it, so are our routines for meeting, connecting, and collaborating with our teams and networks.

Coworking is one way to foster connection and creativity in this evolving work world—but for some, day-to-day coworking isn’t a necessity. So, what if there’s another way your local coworking space can support your team’s goals? There is!

Many teams—especially remote or hybrid ones—need time carved out for intentional, in-person collaboration, whether it's quarterly planning, a team-building workshop, or just a much-needed catch-up meeting.

Being in person, and in a space that’s new and free from the usual distractions of home or the office, can help teams focus more deeply and connect more meaningfully. The shift in environment alone can spark fresh energy and clarity.

If you’ve ever tried to plan a team offsite, company mixer, or professional workshop, you know how hard it is to find the right space – one that’s comfortable and designed to help people connect and focus. That’s exactly what we offer at QCowork in downtown Blacksburg.

An Idyllic Downtown Location

Take your next workshop or strategy session out of the same old space and into an environment that’s fresh, well-equipped, and conveniently located. Our space has hosted everything from team planning sessions to company mixers and professional development workshops.

One of our very first events was a two-day planning session for a local company. While they have their own office, they wanted to step into a new setting. They made full use of the space, enjoyed local coffee and snacks, and one team member walked to Cabo Fish Taco to pick up lunch for the crew. A change of scenery paired with a great setup made all the difference.

Designed for Connection

QCowork also shines for after-hours events. After 5 PM, our open coworking area transforms into a welcoming gathering space – ideal for mixers, networking nights, or workshops. No podiums or stiff folding chairs here, just a relaxed, living-room-style setup designed for ease and comfort.

Our monthly AI Decoded series with RBTC is a perfect example. We gather over takeout from a local restaurant, enjoy casual networking, and then ease into a thought-provoking conversation that often continues well past the official end time. These events truly reflect our belief that this space is meant to foster community—and the setting helps make that happen.

Support from Start to Finish

Our Community Manager has a background in events and is happy to assist with onsite planning and setup. She’s available to offer helpful guidance, support, and coordination so you can focus on making your event just right.
