World Wide Working: CoWorking & Collaboration

Event Interactive 2011
Format Panel
Organizer Chris Heuer Social Media Club
Description With the rise in Independent Professionals and Freelancers comes the rise of the CoWorking movement. Many panels and blog posts have been done on the state of co-working for the individual and how it affects the future of Work. Our panel focuses on the international co-working space from a creation and management perspective. We touch on how each space was created, funded, and continues to operate. We will look at various forms of monetization and sponsorship opportunities. In the spirit of collaboration, we will look at and propose an international network of co-working spaces,and brainstorm ways we can work together to further the movement and build bridges. We will have brief presentations from international CoWorking Spaces in Paris, London, Berlin, San Francisco, New York and Austin. We will then discuss as a group the state of CoWorking from a global and local perspective.
