In this blog post, we’ll share valuable tips and tricks to help you leverage every aspect of our coworking space. Let’s dive in and discover how you can maximize your coworking experience with Alloy 26!

  • Explore the Space: Take time to familiarize yourself with our different areas—we have private phone booths, quiet zones, conference rooms, lounges and collaborative spaces.

2. Engage in Networking Strategies

  • Attend Events: Participate in our networking events and workshops. Join us next month at our Lunch & Learn hosted by Merchant Oyster Co on Tuesday, August 13th at 12pm.
  • Introduce Yourself: Don’t hesitate to introduce yourself to fellow members—it can lead to valuable connections. Check out our Member Wall, located to the left once you walk into our space.

  • Minimize Distractions: Use noise-canceling headphones or designated quiet areas when necessary.
