BE MORE TOGETHER AT THE COLLECTIVE

Co-living pioneers The Collective build spaces to foster human connection, whether that’s through its design – you get access to shared areas as well as a private studio – or through its cultural programme. The ‘Be More Together’ talk series is just one of those events, which is normally reserved for members, but this time they’re opening it up to the public for free. The talks are designed to bring people together and challenge them to go beyond the traditional through discussions with innovators in a range of creative industries.

The series kicks off at the end of the month and as well as being inspired by a whole host of trendsetters, you’ll have the chance to check out the hot new space The Collective Canary Wharf.
