Lodging: I'll likely be driving down to Austin and will staying outside the downtown core for a bit of a cheaper hotel. I'll be able to drive a few people to the unconference and downtown area if we stay in the same hotel or area.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking Unconference Update!
Thanks for your enthusiasm and recommendations, Devin! We're all for trimming the budget if it implies benefits to the community down the road (eg. a community chest of some kind). Our hope is that we may be able to obtain sponsorship/donations for swag -- t-shirts and bags certainly aren't must-haves. In developing the budget we purposefully high-balled some of the numbers a bit to ensure any unforeseen costs would be covered (extra taxes, gratuities, etc.). Any sponsorship dollars that are 'left over' after the event will be contributed to future coworking community initiatives. We're looking to forward to collaborating with you too, and will be in touch with everyone when we have updates to share. Thanks!

Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking Unconference Update!
Reminder: I have a $250 sticker credit with a company called Sticker Mule. I planned on getting stickers made for sxsw that are generic coworking stickers. I'd be happy to use the credit with the unconference designer's design if she's making a sticker. If she's not making a sticker, I can donate that part of the process too. Let me know!

Hello Anna Congrat's to you and the other organisers for the good job regarding the Coworking unconference. I'm really considering to be there in Austin in March, although I still have to work out a number things (among which an agenda overlap and finding a sponsor for myself...). I hope I can do it.

Sponsors: Help reach out to sponsors. A good excuse to call on behalf of the community. Email a...@loosecubes.com to get in the loop and help out. 5. Follow @coworksxsw for ongoing updates! Here's the detailed update: When: Thursday, March 10th from 3 pm - 11 pm Where: We recently locked in a really awesome (and brand new!) venue for the event called Hangar Lounge, located just a few blocks from the convention center in downtown Austin. Check out the pics here: http://on.fb.me/ib3M9N http://on.fb.me/ib3M9N Who: 100 people have indicated their attending the event on Plancast ( http://plancast.com/p/33pl), including folks from the UK, France, Spain Germany!; Total capacity: 150. Sign up if you haven't already. Everyone on plancast will get advance notice when the Eventbrite page goes live. What: Unconference format with 2-3 pre-organized keynote panels. We'd love suggestions for the keynote speakers. I kicked it off with a couple ideas (here http://bit.ly/hoMqo7). Please submit your own ideas. In the next few weeks we'll be issuing a 'call for submissions' so that you all can provide suggestions for sessions at the unconference. We'll then ask the community to vote on their favorites. Start thinking about a session you might want to host! Website: We need some support here. The designer we were going to work with backed out. We're talking to a couple other people, but if you'd like to design/code the page or have a referral to do it, please let us know! Right now we've got $2,000 budgeted for the website / tee shirt / bag designs. It would be awesome if someone that's already a part of the community wanted to take this project on. Basically it'll be a landing page with info about the event and link to the Eventbrite page. We'd like to get it up asap. Sponsors/Budget: In order to keep the per person 'registration fee' down as much as possible, we're working to obtain sponsorship by great companies to cover the baseline unconference costs (venue, food, drinks, AV, etc.). So far, we've received a verbal commitment by a founding sponsor to provide $4,000. Time for you to get involved! Our total sponsorship goal is $15,500, which will allow us to keep the registration fee to $30 (inclusive of everything -- food, beverages, swag!). Anything beyond $15,500 would lower the registration fee. If you are interested in reaching out to sponsors or collecting in-kind donations on behalf of the Unconference, please email a...@loosecubes.com. We're going to do a conference call with the sponsorship committee on Monday to make a plan of attack. If you have connections to in-kind donations, the big needs are: food for dinner, tee shirts, signage, and the website/branding. Alcohol must come from the venue.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking Unconference Update!
Hi All, Sorry for any confusion regarding registration for the unconference. The event website development is now underway thanks to the help of Sara at Greenpoint Coworking! Once it's launched in the next couple of weeks it will include a link to register on EventBrite. In the meantime, please feel free to 'RSVP' on the Plancast ( http://plancast.com/p/33pl) so we can gain an understanding of the size of the group. Thanks again to all of you who have reached out to help! We'll be in touch with more information soon!

Platinum, gold, music, interactive, etc. badge? And I did not see the final thread for registering for the coworking unconference on eventbrite?

There's a lot of awesome places to stay (not hotel chains, but cool boutique hotels). You'll likely spend about as much as one of the nicer hotels downtown, but the experience is MUCH better than a chain hotel room. Makes spending the money less painful ;) -Alex /ah indyhall.org coworking in philadelphia On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 4:07 PM, Jessica Lawrence jessicahlawre...@gmail.com wrote: I splurged a little and got a room at the Hilton as soon as they opened registration. Is everything sold out? You may be able to snag something a little farther out of town - I think SXSW just posted something on their website about how to get around if you are staying farther away from the conference. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! Sent from my iPhone On Jan 13, 2011, at 12:59 PM, Angel Kwiatkowski fccowork...@gmail.com wrote: What have ya'll lined up for lodging for sxsw?

Re: [Coworking] Re: Coworking Unconference Update!
Hey Angel! I started looking into this in November and then had a plate that started to overflow and I cried too :'( But now I'm not crying anymore and have Sara looking into a condo for us now. When are you planning on staying and what is your budget? We potentially have four peeps from our Santa Cruz Community, it looks like the more people we could get, the better deal we would have and would be more likely to actually find an available place.
