About the speaker

Liz Elam is an entrepreneur who specializes in bringing people together to foster their personal and professional goals.
After years of telecommuting during her career at Dell, Liz realized there had to be a better option than working isolated at home or jockeying for power outlets at coffee shops. There wasn’t. So she founded Link Coworking, a membership club that provides collaborative spaces for fellow entrepreneurs including small meeting room spaces, conference room rentals and event space.
Liz is a recognized expert in the coworking field with speaking engagements at South by Southwest and the European Coworking Conference. She has also been featured in the Sunday The New York Times, Young Entrepreneur, CNBC, CNN, Austin Business Journal, Community Impact, The Austin American-Statesman, Information Week and innumerable digital media outlets.
Liz also serves as the President of The League of Extraordinary Coworking Spaces and the Executive Producer of the Global Coworking Conference Unconference.
