As a photographer, I have the privilege of stepping into different industries, witnessing innovation firsthand, and capturing moments that tell a story. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing the Coworking Operators’ Summit at BLANKSPACES Venice (which happens to also be my coworking space), and what an inspiring event it was!

A Gathering of Visionaries

This two-day summit brought together some of the brightest minds in coworking—senior managers, COOs, CMOs, community managers, and owners—all collaborating to shape the future of flexible workspaces. The discussions covered a range of valuable topics, including software integrations, referral partnerships, and industry trends that are driving coworking forward.

Even though I was behind the camera, I couldn’t help but tune into some of the insightful talks. One of my favorites was from Jackie Latragna, who shared expert strategies on SEO and Google My Business. Her insights were geared toward coworking spaces, but as a photographer and business owner who has worked hard on my own SEO, her talk truly resonated with me. It was a reminder of how vital online visibility is for businesses of all kinds—whether you run a coworking space or a creative service like mine.

The Perfect Venue for Connection

The summit took place at BLANKSPACES Venice, a modern coworking hub located at 606 Venice Blvd (@ Abbot Kinney), Venice, CA 90291—just minutes from the iconic Venice Beach Boardwalk. With its sunlit interiors, open and collaborative layout, and creative atmosphere, it was the perfect setting for networking, learning, and exchanging ideas.

And let’s be honest—there’s no better place for a winter conference than sunny Venice, CA. While most of the country battles the cold, this is one of the few spots in the U.S. where warm weather is practically guaranteed!

Capturing the Moments

Events like this are a photographer’s dream. The energy in the room was electric—passionate conversations, thoughtful panel discussions, and professionals eager to make meaningful connections. My goal was to capture not just the key moments but also the essence of collaboration and innovation that filled the space.
