A fun yet insightful talk covering common myths and key information on neurodiversity, the links between neurodiversity and self-employment and easy ways to make your business more neuroinclusive to attract more clients.
Roll in, say hello and grab a desk. When everyone has arrived we’ll give you a little intro to the day and we’ll all introduce ourselves and what we do to the crew.
Work or natter, the choice is yours! A chance to tackle the admin backlog, the to-do list or that post you keep not writing.
Time to learn something new with a 30 minute speaker session followed by time to go eat some food, breathe, and chat to your new crew bestie.
What's better than a natter over cake? Lets share the highs and lows of life, work, and everything in-between with cake and a cuppa.
Head home with weights lifted and a head full of ideas.

A huge thank you to x+why for providing a stunning space to host Cowork Crew Birmingham!
x+why’s innovative green workspaces support communities of businesses, employees, and leaders who believe that business should be used as a force for good.
Each of our sites is designed with its own unique heritage and character in mind, filled with locally sourced furniture and art, and all the mod-cons you would expect.
Part of being a B Corp Certified Business means creating products that prioritise the environment. For us, that means building and renovating flexible workspaces that help to protect the natural resources around us. Foundry is a special example of how to do this. Previously designed as an office space, x+why have avoided needlessly multiplying the building’s carbon footprint by upcycling, refreshing, and injecting a new spirit and character.
Foundry is designed to support and inspire young, impact-led companies on their journey to profit. With wellbeing, collaboration, and fun at the heart of this entrepreneurial hub, it is more than just a place to put your laptop, it’s a destination for business and personal development. Alongside a thriving community are amenities that the largest of corporates would be proud of – ranging from event space to a tech- enabled gym.
x+why are committed to uniting and inspiring a like-minded community of changemakers, and most importantly working collaboratively to amplify all of their great work.
Soph is a marketer, quite a good one. Marketing coach for Fabric, local exec board member for charity Cash for Kids and founder of Happy Marketer Ltd, she specialises in marketing magic for maxed-out MDs, simplifying marketing success for technical minds through her blend of self-deprecating humour and pragmatic approach.
She’s also author of ‘It’s Only Bloody Marketing’, which explores how making marketing better is surprisingly simple when you stop getting in your own way.
Dave was once described as an “irritatingly good speaker”, and it must be true, because he’s got the recording to prove it. He’s a speaker coach who helps people turn their ideas into talks that audiences actually want to listen to.
An Editor’s Pick TEDx speaker, stand-up comedy host and event MC, Dave also runs his Speaking Without Freaking workshops. With a background in healthcare, he blends humour, mindfulness and the occasional dodgy hospital joke. If you feel like you’re dying on stage, Dave can probably help you with some CPR.
When he’s not coaching or speaking, he’s usually writing daily on LinkedIn, running men’s mindfulness sessions, or trying to convince his kids that his music taste is cool. He’s also a world-class hugger.
While a lot of folk who attend are self employed, we're a super welcoming bunch.
The 'why' behind Cowork Crew is to help the self-employed and folk who work from home get out of the home office/coffee shop/kitchen table and enjoy some of the camraderie you used to get from colleagues.
The speaker topics and our general content will always be aimed at freelancers, founders and business owners, but we love meeting new faces. And if you work from home and fancy a day's company you are very welcome to join us.
We get it, we work for ourselves for many reasons, including schedule flexibility.
Come for as much of the day as makes sense for you.
You can bring lunch with you, or take the day-out excuse to nip to a local lunch spot.
Make sure you leave some room, as we’ll have cake to pick us all up during that mid-afternoon slump!
You’re welcome to take a call during Cowork Crew day. You can tuck yourself slightly out of the ‘main’ space in the breakout space if you want to avoid sitting around others while chatting.
We don’t have a completely private space available (as in a completely separate room) however, so it’s probably not the best time to run a webinar!
The benefits of spending a day coworking together go well beyond getting work done.
Feel free to chat to anyone who has the vibe they’re up for it. Or go to a social space to chat more in-depth if you'd like to.
No worries, life/clients/things happen! We offer refunds up to 24 hours before the event starts, no questions asked.
If you bought your ticket through the Clubhouse (Circle) pop an email to hey@coworkcrew.com and we'll process the refund for you.
If you bought your ticket through Eventbrite, here's Eventbrite's docs on how to request a refund. You'll get all of your fee refunded, bar Eventbrite's ticketing fee.
New Street & Snow Hill train stations are a 15 minute walk away, or a short trip on the Metro which has a stop 4 minutes away (Brindleyplace).
