10.01.2022 Flashback to this day two years ago. The future might seem overwhelming today, so were visiting the Runway family album to wax lyrical about the past.

Times are incredibly tough right now, but we really hope that by looking out for each other virtuall...y we can one day come together again physically.

09.01.2022 In Italy - since the pandemic - they call working from home 'smart-working' (they actually use the English words!). Here in Australia - and especially in Victoria - working from home might not feel very smart at times. For those of us with children at home, noisy neighbours, or needy pets, it can be challenging to block out the disruptions. Have you considered working out of a dedicated coworking space instead? Runway has two coworking spaces in Geelong and Ballarat - packed with all mod cons, and adhering to social distancing and COVID regulations. We have a variety of options: daily/weekly/monthly desk rental, monthly office rental, and meeting rooms and event spaces rental. So when you're ready to venture out, we'd you love to consider working smarter from Runway. https://runwayhq.co/communities/

Choosing to diplomatically ignore that question, Zoe says, "My experience in events means that I can help you with navigating that space, and moving them online. I have also had many a small business and startup. I am a good one to come to with a problem, I can help you get unstuck, because I have most likely been there before." Good to know!
