Hi I'm jean-Yves Huwart , co-organiser of the Coworking Europe 2011 conference, which will take place in Berlin on november 3-5th.
http://coworkingeu.wordpress.com/conference/ Among some broad topics we aim to cover during those three days is "What kind of connections between coworking and the corporate world" (draft title) Representatives of some companies (mainly German, so far) which already use coworking in a way or another should share their experience with the coworking crowd.
