Hi Everyone! Thanks to each of you who responded and are volunteering your space for a tour. So far I have the following spaces signed up:

I am also looking for a few additional tour guides in SF and East Bay. If you'd like to lead a tour of 2-3 coworking spaces, please let me know! North Bay, South Bay and Far East Bay- We'd love to visit you too and see your awesome spaces. Alas there are so many awesome coworking places here in Norther California that we need a whole weekend just to tour them all! We will have to settle with hanging with you at the conference and after-party!
