We will look at social group dynamics in a number of arenas including open studio space for architects, collaborative class room models, green dev houses, collaboration based musical acts and co-working interactive facilities. We will be inspecting how existing collaboration models can be used to help improve the interactive industry.

The work Derek has done with brainstorming, executing, and even funding the dev co-op/incubator Gangplank (http://gangplankhq.com) is nothing short of amazing. This is a must see.

A true success story in this area is hard to find. Most people talk theory, but Derek has actually done this successfully IRL. I would attend this for sure.

As co-creator of the collaborative work environment "Gangplank" (www.gangplankhq.com/what-is-gangplank/), Derek knows that of which he speaks. This is a must attend.

I was just at Gangplank today invited to speak at their Academy series. They have done amazing things in a typically startup-averse environment to create the workspace they have. If you're thinking of participating in a co-work arrangement or looking to start one yourself, you'll want to attend this one.

Great stuff. SXSW definitely needs more discussion and wisdom-sharing regarding the design of optimal physical environments for creative knowledge work.
