We've already talked about the [tools](http://coworking.nexudus.com/en/blog/read/59966917/how-to-manage-communication-in-your-coworking-space-using-nexudus-spaces "Communication Tools Nexudus ") that you have available on your Nexudus Spaces account that improve communication with your coworking community. We're really pleased to announce a great new update on Nexudus Spaces, which will not only aid communication between members, it will also help with day-to-day processes. We're talking about Passport by Nexudus, a mobile app that is already available on [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/id1100057771?businessId=196374178 "Passport by Nexudus") and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nexudusspaces&businessId=196374178 "Passport by Nexudus").
Coworking spaces offer space, furniture and resources so that coworkers can work, but also include Internet access, electricity, cleaning, heating or air conditioning and other running costs. They also organise professional meetups, courses, breakfast get-togethers or talks that promote synergies and the growth of the professionals that work there. To this end, a coworking space is much more than renting a desk or rendering a service. That's why it is difficult to regulate coworking because it encompasses several types of business activity that do not have their own regulation.
There are so many factors that need to be taken into account before opening a coworking space: from choosing the space, its layout, location, and the services that it's going to offer to the legal aspects that you need to consider.
Charging for services is a really important factor in your coworking space. Automating payment processes has always been one of our goals at Nexudus Spaces. That's why over all of this time, we have integrated more than 70 payment gateways that provide service throughout the world.
Last week saw the second CUAsia conference, which was held in Bali. It has become one of the 'must' events for the coworking community with more than 220 participants from 31 countries this year. After some very intense days, it's time for us to reflect upon everything that we learnt, the experiences we shared and the places we visited. The conference's setting and the community gathered there, but most certainly the hard work, dedication and attention to detail on the part of the organising team, made the event extremely special.
The [CUASIA unconference 2016](http://www.cuasia.co/ "CUASIA coworking unconference 2016") will be held next week in Ubud (Bali). For the second year running, the event will bring together members of the coworking community from thirty countries. This time the central theme will explore how to live, work and learn differently in the growing collaborative economy.
Over the past 2 years I’ve been scratching my head figuring out what is the best way to attract new members to our coworking space. We came into this world knowing close to nothing, we have tried and tested almost everything that you can do out there in terms of marketing, and doing so on a budget.
Last year, we saw the coworking movement gain popularity, attract investors and make headlines in the press. We also noticed how the general public became more familiar with the concept. Bearing this in mind, we're going to analyse the possible trends for the coming year and the impact they could have on coworking spaces and communities.
Over the years that we've been working with Nexudus Spaces, we've seen how space managers have a daily battle on their hands when managing space access or printer usage. Our main objective for Nexudus Spaces has always been to offer an integral solution that responds to any of the needs that arise in your coworking spaces. One way for us to reach this objective is by integrating Nexudus Spaces with solutions that provide complementary services via our application programming interface (API).
The latest edition of the [Coworking Europe Conference](http://coworkingeurope.net/ "") took place last week in Milan. It was the event's sixth year, which is one of the main dates on the coworking calendar to find out about the movement's trends, share experiences and discuss its future. More than 350 people attended the event, including space managers, service providers and people interested in the world of coworking.
The concept of _"digital nomad"_ is growing and the term is seeping through into everyday language, especially among the technology community and startup ecosystem. We can find more and more news articles about this movement, resources for digital nomads and blogs written by people living and working remotely, who share their experiences.
