We’re Coworking Weekly Now!

Posted under , , , on October 20th, 2009 by gerard – 3 Comments

If you didn’t make our inaugural coworking day, don’t worry.  Our next coworking day is Monday, October 26th.  If that’s too short notice, don’t worry!  Why shouldn’t you worry?  Because we are doing it every week from here on out!  We cowork every Monday from 10am – 5pm down at Venue222.  The details remain largely the same as the first event, but you can read about them again on the event page.

This gives you plenty of chances to attend, and us plenty of chances to improve.  For example, here are some changes we’ve made so far:

  • Improved arrangement of tables and chairs.  We’ll try to maintain the 2nd floor for hard-core workers, and the 1st floor for those who wish to work a little less and network a little more.
  • A dedicated door presence to assist participants and to make newcomers feel welcome.

We’re still working on an online payment solution that works well for weekly recurring events (we’re open to suggestions), so pay the drop-in fee at the door.

If you work from home and want to get out, or can work offsite for a day, join us!  See you on Monday.

Day Of Coworking

#cincycoworks

We at Cincinnati Coworks are organizing our first day of coworking!  And we couldn’t have found a better facility for it.

Join us on Tuesday, September 29th from 10am to 5pm at Venue 222, the Urban Event Space, at 222 East 14th St. in historic Over-The-Rhine.

Why should you attend?  Because you:

  • Work from home and need a break.
  • Need a creative or inspirational boost, and know that hobnobbing with other creatives can give it to you.
  • Want to learn something new or share your expertise.
  • Want to meet new people.
  • Are interested in helping bring the coworking movement to Cincinnati.

We’re also going to try something new, a novel exercise to connect those in need of new work with those in need of someone with expertise. You have to attend to participate!

Venue 222 Venue 222

Date: Tuesday, September 29th from 10am until 5pm.

Location: Venue222. 222 East 14th St. Cincinnati, OH 45208

Cost: $10.

You can pay your admission fee ahead of time at Eventbrite. Or you can just show up, and pay at the door. While the $10 is necessary and goes entirely to use of the space, it is an easy way to show real commitment and interest in what we’re trying to do here.

Parking: There is a lot alongside the building that is shared among Venue222, Willow Creative, and Lightbourne Studios. You can park in the spots labeled "Urban222", but no other spots. There is also parking in the street, but it fills up fast. Your best bet may be to use the lot on Sycamore, which is less than a block away and is only $3/day (see Google map).

Facility:

  • 4815 square feet on 2 floors
  • Exposed brick and wood beam architecture
  • Restrooms on each floor
  • Open kitchen area
  • Large windows with views of the city
  • Access to urban green space for outdoor activities, should the mood strike you

Amenities:

  • White boards and markers
  • Easels and paper
  • Tables and chairs
  • Wireless Internet access
  • Coffee and water and candy snacks with admission
  • Vended beverages $0.50.
