Co-working, or shared work space, is a hot trend across the country & beyond. From New York City, Boston, Austin and San Francisco to London, Berlin, Amsterdam and Australia, creative entrepreneurs and solo practitioners are discovering both the cost savings of shared office/creative space and equipment, as well as the benefits of working in a collaborative atmosphere.

At the meeting, Scott Tillitt of BEAHIVE in Beacon, NY, will speak about the BEAHIVE co-working space and set the stage for an open, group discussion of co-working in the Berkshires.
The purpose of the meeting is to see where you, our creative community stands: Do you want space? For what purpose? Who is already offering space? Who wants to offer space in the future?
Let us know where you stand-take the Co-working Survey now!
