I think offering exposure as a means of payment is setting yourself up for the wrong kind of talks, even though it's clear at the price point that you're not looking to make a profit off the events.
We're working on the same kind of series and pulling from the membership to talk about things they're interested in. If we were charging for anything, we'd probably cover the speaker's lunch or something like that. We're focusing heavily on each member supporting the others as a way to growing the community's 'connective tissue.' -------------------------------------------- Trevor Twining Cowork Niagara http://coworkniagara.com Working independently, together. twitter: @coworkniagara, @trevortwining On Jun 9, 2014, at 10:46 AM, Angela Samuels <[email protected]> wrote: > I want to have workshops and lunch and learns at my future coworking space.
