Coffee and Wifi. When people talk about what they need\/want\/expect from coworking the two things that come up first are coffee and Wifi. While both are awesome, one is more critical to the success of a space (no, we don\u2019t mean coffee).<\/strong><\/p>\n

And we\u2019re not just talking good internet. Coworking spaces need to offer seamless, easy, consistent technology for their members and managers. It\u2019s about a technology infrastructure that is flexible, smart and sustainable. Easy, right?<\/p>\n

\u201cTechnology makes it possible for people to gain control over everything, except over technology\u201d – John Tudor<\/p>\n

Maximizing the positive impacts, and addressing potential hiccups, of technology are at the core of good business for coworking spaces.<\/p>\n

Every member will have overlapping and unique needs, which can change by the hour, by the makeup of people working on a given day, to the types of projects they\u2019re working on. And, with technology evolving fast, what spaces have today may not be the right setup in just a few years, so building an infrastructure that supports needs now and makes adaptation and change easier is critical. For a coworking space the sum of all those parts must equal, consistently, nothing but awesome. <\/p>\n

At GCUC this year, Sam Rosen, co-founder of Desktime and The Coop (now NextSpace River North) will be exploring that tango between Technology + Coworking.<\/p>\n

In this workshop, we\u2019re inviting all interested attendees and especially welcome anyone interested in opening spaces\u2026.or those with battle scars and success stories to share.<\/p>\n

A roundtable representing spaces with excellent, tested technology setups will talk tough decisions, growing pains, smart solutions, and hopefully some funny stories will give participants a better understanding of some of the best tech options for coworking. <\/p>\n

We’ll walk through some successful equipment and setup recommendations for space\u2019s internet connection, wireless network, security system, payment processing coworking management software and more. <\/p>\n

Hear directly from other space owners who speak the truth. Plus, we\u2019re inviting a collection of representatives from popular hardware and software companies ready to demo their equipment, answer questions.<\/p>\n

Bring questions. We\u2019ll have answers.<\/p>\n

And in the lead up to GCUC, we\u2019d love to hear from you. Have stories to tell? Lessons you\u2019ve learned? Questions you can\u2019t wait to ask? Tweet them to @desktimeapp or email sam@desktimeapp.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
