Free week of coworking space being offered by Worklab by Custer

Worklab by Custer is having a celebration — and you are invited, but be forewarned. You are expected to work.

Worklab is celebrating coworking by hosting a free We Share Work Week at their downtown Grand Rapids location from March 14th through March 18th.

The event is open to the public and includes a free week of coworking. Mark Custer, founder, says you can create your own schedule, stay for one day, the entire week or just pop in and out at your convenience.
 
"This is our own event. A bit of March Madness and a good way to kick off spring,” he says.

Custer notes the trends for coworking spaces remain strong.
 
"We are entering the sharing economy, and there is plenty of research supporting the benefits of these 'third spaces' and spending time outside the office,” he says.
 
The founder says coworking spaces are great places to get work done, network, help change up the routine, and are much better than going home to work, where often times there are far too many distractions.

Besides offering the space (and all the amenities, including concierge services), there will be a series of speakers and business service partners in the space throughout the week. 

Worklab opened in June 2014 and provides a professional work environment and meeting space in the heart of downtown. Members include professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, freelancers, consultants, mobile workers, corporate teams, and event planners.
