Ann Arbor Coworking Townhall Meeting

 

We’re trying to gauge interest in developing a permanent dedicated coworking space in downtown Ann Arbor. This might include shared office space, meeting and training space, a private cafe, a “makers’ den” for electronic and other fabrication projects. Any or all of those. The space might be run by a private concern, a nonprofit organization, or an ad hoc collaboration. It might be a membership organization, a business of its own, or a cooperative. Or something else.

Let’s explore what it might be, and why you might want to participate.

 

Where: Ann Arbor District Library Freespace, 3rd floor, Downtown Ann Arbor library building

When: Monday, May 19, 7-8:30pm

Who: Organized by Not An Employee, LLC

 

The meeting space is reserved from 5pm through 8:30pm, but we will officially begin proceedings at 7pm. If enough interest is generated, we may run two 90-minute rounds of discussion. Please let us know if you’re coming.

 

Space in the Library conference room is limited to 32 people. If more want to attend and discuss the prospects for coworking, we will try to arrange a second session, and extend discussion after the meeting at one of the other local meeting venues.

 

Please let us know if you’d like to attend. You may want to use the free service at Upcoming.org to coordinate.

 

 

 

Co-working Space in Downtown Ann Arbor

From Ed Vielmetti's blog:

Wednesday morning: Primo Coffee, Fifth and Liberty

 

Participants refer to these casual coworking instances as 'microcoworking.'

 

He also lists the Ann Arbor IT Zone (now SPARK) as a future possibility.

Space at SRT Solutions Available Soon

 

September 14, 2007

 

SRT Solutions has rented and furnished an office at 206 S. Fifth Avenue (Suite 200) in downtown Ann Arbor.  Our objective in leasing the space was to provide a place for our consultants and employees to work, a place for user groups to meet, but also a place for co-working.  The space was chosen with the professional software developer/consultant in mind, and we're interested in having other passionate software developers join us in the space for collaboration, commaraderie, and a more than occasional sanity check.

 

SRT has moved into the space, and we've had some user group meetings so far.  We're going to start lightning talks on October 12 (biweekly), and we'll open up to co-working as soon as we get a handle on how we're all using the space.

 

The co-working space that will be available is the open area (about 900 sq ft), and a conference room will be available on a reservation basis.  We're working out pricing and the number of spots we have available, but if you're interested, please call us at 734-929-3211, email me at dmarsh AT srtsolutions DOT com, or place your name here.  Or stop by and see us!
