The most important perspective in shared living is often the least represented in industry conversations: the resident's.  

This session invites current and former coliving residents to speak openly about their experience - what drew them to shared living, what their daily life actually looks like, and what shapes their decision to stay or move on.  

For operators, designers, and investors in the room, this is a rare and valuable opportunity to hear directly from the people whose choices ultimately determine the success of every project. Not filtered through surveys or NPS scores, but through honest, first-person conversation.  

The session is designed to surface what residents truly value, how their needs evolve over time, and where the biggest opportunities for improvement lie.
