Level One will throw open its doors next Thursday, May 11 for National Coworking Day – a new concept for New Zealand and part of Tech Week which kicks off this weekend.  

National Coworking Day aims to showcase the network of coworking spaces in New Zealand, to generate interest in co-working in various cities and regions and to feature coworking spaces and coworkers as key players in New Zealand technology and innovation.  

Around 30 coworking spaces in New Zealand are taking part in National Coworking Day, including Confluence in Whanganui, Orchard Hub in Whangarei and Awesome HQ in Christchurch.

We’ll be open for visits between 9am and 5pm on the 11th, so please let friends, colleagues, locals and anyone else curious about coworking know that they can pop in for free and see what we do at any stage that day.  We’ll put on a few beers after 5pm, in fine Thursday afternoon style.
