Through our network we get approached by people wanting to give workshops in our coworking location. If the workshop is open to our own members we are try to create a combined member event / workshop. Members who opt in see this as a one of the key benefits of being part of a coworking space. In this model we do not charge for the space. For the person giving the workshop it's a win because they get the space free of charge and we can supply a number of interested participants through our member network, We try to schedule an event like this about once a month.
If the workshops are not for our members but it is purely about using the space for others we'll charge a fee for that and would have no further involvement. You do have to watch out here because it may be welcome from a revenue perspective but at the same time you have to check the response from your members - they may find it a nuisance (if they can't use the space for the duration of the workshop, or if it's noisy etc). Since we target freelancers / contractors / independent workers there are many themes that can be of interest for a workshop: networking, sales / marketing / acquisition, social media, business planning, administration / fiscal / legal, etc... In this market a lot of interest goes to the first three topics.
