For digital nomads, flexible, and freelance workers, co-working spaces are vital community spaces for personal and professional connections.
In episode 6 of OUT OF HOURS WITH NOT9TO5, our season finale, Elinor chats to Samantha Hulls, Head of Collaboration at The Melting Pot in Edinburgh on the importance of facilitating events and bringing people together for impactful learning and working.
As first a community host and then manager at The Melting Pot for the past 7 years, Sam has found her space in a sector that puts people and community at the forefront, and she is passionate about working to create impact. Currently this translates to adapting coworking to the new needs of workers and ensuring we are providing solutions to help individuals and organisations transition to hybrid and remote working. With past lives in event management, legal policy and practice, Sam originally hails from Melbourne but currently calls Scotland home.
