Host Hector Kolonas recaps week 37 of 2026 with guest co-host Perla Caballero from Alliance Virtual Offices calling in from Monterrey after attending the GWA conference, where she led roundtables on excellence management and member loyalty, drawing on experience from WeWork and Airbnb. Follow along with the web-version of the free newsletter at https://thisweekincoworking.com/week-37-2026/ Perla shares Alliance revenue opportunities for operators beyond virtual offices, highlighting meeting rooms as a lead generator for new members. They discuss Sarah Travers’ view that companies now proudly use flexible offices as a hiring and operational advantage, and explore corporate demand for managed, amenity-rich private offices. They also cover Jamie Hodari’s point that restrooms and “hidden” spaces shape the overall experience, suggesting tours, photos, and potentially ratings for bathrooms and other amenities. Finally, they review OfficeRnD’s tech survey, which shows integration challenges rising to 68%, and discuss how well-built integrations and instant bookings reduce workload and improve responsiveness. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:36 GWA Denver Highlights01:37 Perla Career Background02:07 Alliance Revenue Streams03:25 Coworking Credibility Shift06:02 Enterprise Flex Office Benefits09:21 Restrooms Matter Too13:16 Tours Ratings and Bathrooms16:39 Tech Survey Integrations23:03 Wrap Up and Where to Meet

In the Week 36 (2026) recap of the This Weekend Coworking podcast, host Hector Kolonas and guest co-host Mark Furness discuss Mark’s reacquisition and take-private of essensys, his renewed focus on building faster with AI, and what “AI at the core” means: agentic capabilities across essensys Platform (network/WiFi), elumo (meeting room access and monetization), and Operate (lead-to-cash/ops system) via more autonomous operations and natural-language interfaces. They debate where AI agents should and shouldn’t replace deterministic workflows, rising concerns around data security as workers bring their own tools, and the need for interoperable, best-in-class stacks. They cover improving onboarding/activation journeys, insights from Flexspace data on full-day bookings (median eight seats), the importance of distinguishing buyer vs user, and why utilization data is a stronger signal than occupancy, including plans for MCP-enabled access to essensys data and a push toward autonomous flexspace operations.00:00 Welcome and Introductions00:41 Mark Reacquires Essensys02:44 AI at the Core08:50 Agents vs Infrastructure11:39 Security and Data Risks16:14 Autonomous Ops Use Cases19:37 Onboarding and Activation20:55 Flexspace Booking Data23:44 Fixing the Arrival Experience28:41 Occupancy vs Utilization32:15 MCP and Data Access35:25 Wrap Up and Thanks

This Week In Coworking
In this recorded keynote-style discussion, Hector Kolonas (Syncaroo co-founder) is quizzed by Jessie Glew (CEO at WOTSO) and Andrew Rothstadt (CEO at Clarence) on what coworking operators should optimize for beyond software; shifting focus from occupancy to utilization, revenue, reduced churn, and staff efficiency. Hector elaborates on why “not all revenue is good revenue,” sharing an example of public meeting-room bookings that appeared successful but lost money once service overheads and commissions were included. He highlights scalable SKUs, such as virtual offices and day offices, to address uneven weekly demand, and discusses adding digital services that members need. The conversation explores what great software should do, why operators often stop building their own platforms, and what’s coming next: stronger data ownership and zero-trust thinking, better capture of institutional “context,” evolving roles such as data governance, and expanding AI agents that affect both operator workflows and member experience.00:00 Podcast Setup00:27 Beyond Occupancy Metrics01:12 Ending Productivity Theater02:13 Bad Revenue Traps04:20 Profitable SKUs Ideas07:09 What Great Software Solves09:20 Why Build Tools Fails12:05 Data Ownership Futureproofing14:10 Capturing Context Knowledge19:15 Avoiding Overlapping Systems21:34 Australia Leads Quietly23:57 Ignore Overseas Hype25:08 Jobs Shifting With AI26:52 Member-Facing AI Agents28:50 Utilization Beats Occupancy31:02 Dynamic Pricing Reality Check33:05 Closing Thanks
