Hi Anca, We're using Meraki managed access points and they've been pretty flexible for our needs.

Re: [Coworking] Strategies for showing which members are on-site on a given day?
I agree with Alex, it's true. At Collective Agency the most important signage we have is a wall of member bios: name, photo, some questions and answers. People can then match a name to a face, find a skillset, or start a conversation. Most importantly, the member bios on the wall are a sign of appreciation: people like being valued here not for the work they do, but for who they are as people. Their info on the wall is a sign they belong to the community: it's next to the Community Guidelines sheet (the limits of how we are here). The inspiration for member bios on the wall was a company I worked at that had a bulletin board with photos of employees on fishing trips, with friends and family and each other, with names written below the employees. We've found any online info about people is not what members and meetings are paying for here; they are paying to be in a cozy place working alongside people doing a variety of work they're passionate about and committed to, where 80% of people say hi.

Hey All, I'm fairly new to the coworking world, been involved since Oct. 2013. Jacob, that sounds really interesting and an organic way for members to team-up for projects or answer questions. What kind of system were/are your using when you refer to tech ?

Re: [Coworking] Strategies for showing which members are on-site on a given day?
Elise, We use Nadine to manage our space. It's an open source system we developed here at Office Nomads. The points that Alex and Alex made are really important to keep in mind though when considering technical solutions since they don't really work for the majority of cases they are relied on for. People come for the people first and foremost. The main reason Nadine works for us is that everyone gets a profile (entered by us) since this is how we track membership. The member facing sided of it is a perk most people don't care about.

We have done this in a few different ways but both rely on tech (Nadine). We have an iPad at the front desk that shows who is Here Today and I setup a screen that shows the same information but bigger and continuously.
