Great stuff, Christoph. It sounds awesome and reminds me of the ambition they have in Las Vegas in the field of coworking. Personally, although a big crowd, coworking is definitely not limited to an audience only made out of graphic designers and web developpers as it is still very often

Ryan, This is the same story everywhere. Even here in Seattle, after having shouted on rooftops for the past five years we still face this challenge. There are a number of things I do to increase coworking awareness and it starts by being active in the communities around me and talking up
