3rd Space World Conference.
Coworking Conference | Taking Coworking to the next level. Coworking Hack Day. 4 Enlightening Events For Indy Professionals In 2012 | Cohere Coworking Community. Happy New Year Coworking Community! This is a wonderful time when the new year stretches out before us like an untouched canvas. The possibilities of what can be accomplished over the next 12 months seem endless at this moment. As location-independent professionals, January is a great time to set goals, plan strategies, and identify the opportunities for connection and collaboration that will expand our own networks as well as enrich the larger community. Even if you’re a regular at your local coworking space, it can be easy to become comfortable with your limited circle of friends and colleagues. But as a freelancer or business owner, it’s essential that you find new ways to challenge yourself, and new people who will expand your mind. If you’re looking for a few key events to attend this year, here’s a short list of favorites to get you started: Worldwide #Jellyweek 2012 A “Jelly” is like coworking, only without a dedicated space, time or set of attendees.
Die weltweite Jellyweek 2012. Als Kind freute ich mich über die Tüten voll bunter Jellybeans. Jeder Bonbon schmeckte anders. Ich würde jeden einzelnen probieren, und dann schauen, welcher Geschmack bei rauskommt, wenn ich sie alle auf einmal in den Mund stecke und zusammen kaue. So könnte man auch die Ideen versinnbildlichen, die hinter heutigen Jellies stehen. Schauen, was die gemeinsame Arbeit hervorbringt. Der begriffliche Ursprung stammt von einer Gruppe von kreativen Freien, die sich öfter im Wohnzimmer eines Brooklyner Apartments trafen, um nicht ständig allein zu arbeiten.
Sie nannten es Jelly, nach den Jellybeans, die in der Mitte des Arbeitstisches standen. Wie die Coworking Bewegung existierten Jellies schon bevor sie ihren heutigen Namen erhielten. Coworking und Jellies besitzen viele Gemeinsamkeiten. Coworking und Jellies erfüllen diese Bedürfnisse für Leute, die an ihren eigenen Projekten arbeiten und dabei nicht allein in einem Raum sitzen möchten. Was kann ich während der Jellyweek machen? Plug: Like Jelly, with a twist. The collective knowledge and skills of coworkers remains the most under-utilized resource of the coworking movement.
One method of tapping into the shared intelligence of a network of individuals is Plug, an event format similar to a Jelly meet-up but with a twist: participants are asked by their host to solve a challenge during their working session. Plug began in Amsterdam one year ago, and is now a weekly event that draws on a network of over 200 individuals. A café owner in Amsterdam had a problem. Although her eatery had possibly the best view of the city, people couldn’t seem to find their way there.
Unsure of how to improve her situation, she called in the Plug network. Plug is a diverse mix of individuals, some freelancers, some employed workers, from a variety of fields of expertise. “We are a team of consultants for hire, in exchange for coworking space,” Linda explained. One recent Wednesday, ten members of Plug arrived at the Amsterdam café.
