WA Chapter PD on Networking
We are excited to announce our next event on a PD session on networking.
Networking has many benefits:
- allows you access to opportunities you might not be able to find on your own.
- has the potential to provide you with insight into different fields
- advice on how you can improve professionally.
Your network can be vital to your professional success. Networking is not only about trading information, but also serves as an avenue to create long-term relationships with mutual benefits.
We look forward to a presentation from Daniel McCullen, who made an appearance on the tv show Shark Tank.

Presenter
Networking Expert Daniel McCullen, M.Ed. Co-Founder and CEO at SpacetoCo
Daniel has worked in education for over a decade including the administrative side of educational delivery by building programs, policy and staff management. He worked as part of a founding team to commence what is now one of the largest secondary schools in WA, Ashdale Secondary College, involving rolling out the Federal Laptop for Students program and creating professional development opportunities to support teachers as well as classroom teaching. Daniel also successfully worked to earn endorsement for the school for an Autism Extension Program and as a Specialist Technology School.
All of Daniel’s experiences have culminated in the opportunity to be a co-founder of SpacetoCo, the Airbnb of short-term space hire. The business works to improve local economies by connecting people with spaces in their local community. Spaces on the program are as varied as tennis courts to board rooms to wedding venues. As a successful sharing economy platform, SpacetoCo has the opportunity to change the way people think about space and allows people to access the resources that they need at the click of a button.
His team also made an appearance on the television show, Shark Tank, in a bid to get financial support for their new business. In each of his roles, networking and meeting new people were a key component to ensuring that each project had the right people working ‘on the business’, ‘in the business’ and supporting the business. Daniel also has experience in networking from a fundraising perspective when trying to raise capital for their new venture. As a result of his varied experiences, Daniel has many skills he will share with us. He has worked both in schools, and in corporate environments and understands the advancement landscape.
Daniel’s business, SpacetoCo, is founded on networking, and we look forward to having him share his expertise in this area with our members. Join us at the Educate Plus networking PD to hear Daniel’s story.
