Melis Karabulut

PR & Field Marketing Specialist at Chainels

“Having attended both editions of the Coliving Awards and Coliving Conference, it is righteous to say that I've made lifetime connections through a crowd that is heavily community-oriented. My favourite part was seeing coliving tenants on the stage. It was the great touch that allowed coliving operators to hear varying perspectives on living experiences. It was also great to see the emerging forms of coliving and how it starts to resonate with diverse groups of people - seniors, older adults, creatives - and not only millennials and gen-z, leading to a meaningful shift in how we live in cities.”

Deenie Lee

Co-Founder at The Property Marketing Strategists

“Attending the Coliving Conference was one of the highlights of my conferencing calendar last year. Not only was being a judge an honour but it also highlighted to me how diverse and innovative the sector is and how much good work is occurring across Europe in Coliving. The conference was inclusive, friendly and insightful with a jam packed agenda. Anyone who is working in Coliving or wants to understand more about the sector should be there."

Christophe Vercarre

“The Coliving Conference is the coliving industry's equivalent to the World Economic Forum. Attendees can look forward to engaging sessions led by industry experts, significantly expand their professional networks, share best practices, and find genuine inspiration.”

"Attending and speaking at the Coliving Conference 2023 exceeded my expectations. It provided a valuable platform for global peers to exchange ideas on shared living. The well-organised day featured thought-provoking panel sessions with top minds in the industry. The warm reception and vibrant community atmosphere made connecting with other attendees seamless. Meeting individuals in person whom I had previously known only through their writings or digital interactions added a personal dimension to the event. I am proud to have been part of an event that is pushing the boundaries and making communal living more accessible. The conference left me with valuable contacts and potential business opportunities. Thank you for the unforgettable experience and I look forward to participating at the next event.”

“Attending the Coliving Conference is always a highlight for me and my team. It brims with inspiring individuals who are spearheading transformative projects. We convene as a community, eager to exchange insights, foster partnerships, and shape a brighter future. Last year, I had the honour of participating in a panel that delved into the future of blended living. It was a captivating forum to discuss the myriad advantages and challenges of various living typologies. For many years, The Class Foundation and Coliving Ventures have been strong alleys of one another. We recognise and celebrate the intersection of student living and coliving. Our commitment is to collaboratively navigate the sector's challenges, bolstered by the strength and expertise of our industry partners.“

Williams Johnson

CEO & Co-Founder at B-Hive Living

“The Coliving Conference is a great way for both seasoned industry players and newcomers to get up-to-date and strategic market insights. The event is packed with so much knowledge from an eclectic cohort of international investors, operators and specialist vendors from every corner of the globe, offering a unique balance between deep market insight and practical solutions to market and operational challenges and opportunities. It makes the event a great place to network and kick off new collaborations and ideas for new concepts. In short: there is no other coliving gathering in Europe that offers this depth of market insight in such a concise format and for that alone it’s well worth attending.”

Tony Allen

"This was the first time I attended the Coliving Conference, although I have a few years of experience in PBSA, I found the conference and delegate provided me with a great insight into a parallel market that has an equal number of synergies and differences. The sessions and networking gave me a better understanding of the direction of the coliving sector both target markets and design. Moreover the learning has already influenced our own business."
