Hi everyone, Kristie Wells here from San Francisco (Citizen Space) and I somehow forgot to send a note around about this event until just now. Yikes. Me thinks it has something to do with managing 9 events in three days, but whatever the reason, I am sorry...just hoping we can find ways for you all to participate in this conversation we are holding tomorrow.
We held a coworking meetup in San Francisco last month with several leaders from around the Bay Area as well as the folks from Paris, talking about how to help all coworking spaces become sustainable and collaborate more for the betterment of the entire community. We thought since many folks were coming to SxSW, we should try to get everyone together and dig a little deeper into this topic. We have set up an in-person meeting at the Social Media Clubhouse on Monday (March 15) at 1pm to kick off this conversation. We are also livestreaming it at http://bit.ly/smch3live for those who cannot participate in person, but want to contribute or watch. The goal is turn this into a monthly meeting (run by someone new each time) where we can get as many people together on a call/video chat and explore ways we can collaborate better together beyond the mailing list, to discuss common needs, share alternative revenue ideas and perhaps even, determine how we can support better curation/sharing of our local insights and lessons learned. Again, I am beside myself I did not post this sooner. I am hoping some of you can find an hour or two tomorrow to either join us personally or at least tune into the livestream...then we reconvene and see about setting up a call/chat for April to keep things moving. if you can join us in person, please let us know by registering at http://smch3-coworking.eventbrite.com (password is working2gether). I know it is cheesy. I am tired and not as creative as I can be. Right now, we have Tara Hunt (SF), Chris Schultz (NOLA), Tony Bacigalupo (New York) and several others who are coming. The Clubhouse is about 20 minutes from downtown and we have a free shuttle (thanks Moonfruit!) to take you to/from, starting at 11:20am with another at 12:20pm. We expect to chat from 1pm-2:30pm and then can get everyone back to the Convention Center to ensure you can make the 3:30pm panels. We will also record the conversation and I am happy to post the video link here once done if you guys want to reference it. This email is way longer than I expected, but wanted to give you as much info as possible. Hoping to have some of you either here in person or on the stream so we can get as many voices as possible to kick this off.
