It’s time to wield your bracket, turn on the T.V., and cheer because March Madness is here! For many of us, these three weeks are what gets us through the last drops of winter. This time of year is when we come together (or farther apart, depending on the rivalry) and cheer for teams we’ve never heard of and make brackets even if we haven’t been following the sport at all.

The shared workspace not only makes the busy time of year easier but also helps you connect with the community. Here are four ways to celebrate the holiday season this year at work!

There is no better feeling than packing up and leaving the office after a busy workday. When you’re sitting at a desk all day, it can be easy to feel like you’re not taking advantage of what D.C. has to offer, or like your computer is your only friend. This is why it is important to sometimes unwind not in your PJs on the couch. With two amazing locations, AdvantEdge Workspaces has you covered with the best places to unwind after work in D.C.- no Uber or Metro ride necessary.

Day in and day out, many people dread their commutes.

Bike to Work Day is May 18th, so it’s a perfect chance put down your keys or metro card and try something new! This day isn't just about taking your bike to work- it's a celebration! Check out local events to see how you can get involved (there may even be free food and t-shirts along the way). Still not convinced?

A good place to start is with your workspace, where a smaller space can lead to a larger amount of support and help for your business!
