Back in March, over at my main blog, I mentioned co-working has been re-ignited locally.
I’m pleased to announce momentum is building and all signs are very positive.
Including the recently launched:
TwinCitiesCoWorking.org site.
Congrats to all involved on getting closer to making this a reality locally.
The best tech event in town is on the calendar again – May 7th.
Same place as the last couple installments: Intermedia Arts on Lyndale.
