In recent years, the coworking movement has broadened; there are more and more spaces, which reach an increasingly wider community and have attracted investments of around $1bn in the last year. This has undoubtedly helped the concept be progressively more "in trend" and the number of medium-sized and large companies interested in the ins and outs of the model is on the rise. As a result, there are also more events and training programmes aimed at promoting collaboration in professional working environments. Since 2011, Unwired has hosted the Worktech conference on the future of work, spaces, technology and innovation. The event has been held in cities all over the world and the next one will take place in Singapore in September. London is also going to be host to the first edition of “The Social Workplace Conference” organised by Global Enterprise, the consulting firm behind Coworking Europe.

Working from home is indeed not a new concept, at all! AT&T started to eliminate unused offices in 1991. Three years later, as part of an experiment to explore the extent to which a large organisation could revolutionise the workplace by bringing work to the employees, it had 32,000 employees working from home.
