Bali's second CUAsia gets inside the heads of the people who're re-designing the way we all work
UBUD, Indonesia The future’s bright for the hubs facilitating Asia’s shift towards the creative economy, according to industry experts at the second Coworking Unconference Asia (CUAsia) on the tropical island of Bali.
Initiated by Hubud: Ubud Coworking & Community Space, Bali’s first coworking space and community hub, CUAsia was designed to bring together all the movers and shakers from the world of coworking and innovation in Asia and beyond to explore how we can learn, work, and live in this new collaborative economy.

Attendees shared different views on the business models of the future: as coworking across AsiaPacific becomes increasingly competitive, spaces will increasingly diverge in strategy, offering more choice to this new wave of workers.
Event attendance was up this year, from 135 to 220 people from 31 countries, last year, with attendees traveling everywhere from the US to South Korea, Mongolia, India, Cambodia and Australia.
Steve Munroe, Founder of Hubud, the organizer behind CUAsia said the increased attendance reflected the surging interest in coworking across the continent: ‘Asia has seen an explosion of growth in coworking over the last 12 months, with new spaces opening every week. It’s fascinating to see how different spaces are reacting to the challenges and opportunities posed by this new world of work.’
Asian coworking spaces are also growing rapidly in number, with Singapore now home to 45 coworking spaces, as well as the rise of “coworkation” spaces such as Bali, Koh Lanta, and Jeju island.
This year’s CUAsia covers a range of subjects, hosted in different locations in Bali, from February 24 - 28.
Preevent includes Coworking Academy on February 24. Hosted at Hubud: Ubud Coworking and Community Space, it’s a full day workshop on how to create and manage a successful coworking space. With coworking experts such as Alex Hillman of Indy Hall Philadelphia, Grace Sai of the Hub Singapore, and Amarit Charoenphan of Hubba Thailand as mentors, participants of Coworking Academy more than half are planning to open their own coworking spaces receive tangible tools and templates to support executing what they learn.
