Creativity right Next door
Companies should start cycling their employees through coworking spaces in order to increase their contacts and boost their creativity. That’s the suggestion from Peter Bihr, a digital consultant who is curating the social media track at next week’s Next conference in Berlin. Bihr hopes coworkers will attend Next to inform the influential audience about the benefits of collaborative workspaces.
How can coworkers use data?
Coworking spaces are full of entrepreneurs and start-ups, most of them involved in web technology. Which is why they should be interested in NEXT, the tech industry meet-up taking place in Berlin in a month. The main theme of the conference is “Data Love". How can coworkers make use of data? Can coworking spaces themselves improve their operation by better use of their own data?
The 1st U.S. coworking unconference
The first U.S. Coworking Unconference in Austin is over. Despite the enormous variety of topics, discussions focused on three main areas. How to build and open a coworking space? What successful business models have emerged, and which is the best and most effective? And how does the future of coworking look? The event ended with many responses and plenty of happy faces at a rooftop party in the Austin night air.
Coworking and the future of cities
"If you put a lot of smart people with different skills in a room and shake them together, something new comes out." It sounds like a original concept for coworking, but it’s also the goal of Peter Bihr, organizer of the Cognitive Cities Conference, which will be held at the end of February in Berlin. The conference seeks to find an answer to the question – how are cities changing by new technologies? Coworking is also on the list of topics. Today Deskmag gives a first preview of what could be discussed.
