My favorite part of SXSWi last year was the Coworking anti-conference that was happening throughout the whole week.

Especially since I've been talking to a few folks about getting us an independent space down here in Orlando, I may just have to attend.

Woodie, if you want to host some sort of event, I know we could get some Central Florida folks to come. I know BarCampMiami is coming up, but I have a conflict that day. We're hosting a Drupal event in Orlando.

Peace,
Ryan Price

There's already a rather significant contingent of coworking folks that meet annually at SXSW Interactive, unofficially of course...but I think it'd be great to piggyback on that continued momentum.

Austin's pretty great for this, the weather is nice, and the conversation is ALREADY taking place...it could just be more focused!

Sort of a one day event where we could discuss best practices, set some protocols for future coworking locations and formally organize ourselves so that we can leverage our combined power?


Suggested topics to discuss (feel free to edit/add to/delete/etc)


1)   Keys to success

a.     pricing

b.     Serivices to offer

2)   Managing the bottom line

a.     Financing the start up

b.     Negotiating lease agreements

c.      Managing monthly expenses

3)   Marketing & PR

a.     Building awareness

b.     How to generate more buzz

c.      The power of meet-ups

d.     Leveraging your chamber of commerce

4)   Creative suggestions from some of our winning locations

5) How to formally organize ourselves into an International organization


Perhaps we could all complete some surveys prior, and then present the results at the meeting as well?


Regards,
Woodie
