Coworking in the Heart of Austin
The Unoffice Office

What is Coworking?
Coworking is the growing movement between a full time office gig and a self employment career. It’s a place
- to work in an office like environment without the boss.
- to work alongside others who share similar careers or talents.
- to focus on what needs to be done in a quieter office enviroment
Feel free to drop by and check the place out. We are open from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday (members have after hour access).
Features include:
- Offices available for confidential meetings and phone calls.
- Plenty of room to spread out, focus and get things done.
- Large conference room
- high-speed and secured wifi
- Wired ethernet wall ports
- Server room with servers for all your IT and web and application development needs,
- Rooftop terrace – a place to relax – overlooking 6th Street and the Austin Convention Center.

Refresh Austin
Mar 8th
| March 9, 2010 | ||
| 7:00 pm | to | 10:00 pm |
Given the proximity of this meeting to SXSW, we’re going to try something different. Anyone who has a panel at SXSW 2010 will be welcome to present a shortened version of their presentation. This allows the presenters a chance to run through their work in front of an audience and gain feedback as well as ensure that people who can’t make it to SXSW can learn from their. Even if you are going to SXSW this year, I highly recommend you join. Odds are good that you’ll be double-booked for many time slots, so why not get a taste for the panels that are of interest prior to the big event?
This is also a great time to meet other Austin Refreshers before the big event.

Bonus! Don’t forget about the Refresh Lunch the Friday of SXSWi.

RISE Austin-Generation Savvy: How’s Your Generational IQ?
Feb 23rd

| 10:00 am | to | 1:30 pm |
Generation Savvy: How’s Your Generational IQ?
5 Generations In Your Market and Workforce – Vast Opportunity or Challenge?
A presentation by Sherry Lowry, MCC of The Lowry Group + Bridging Futures
Pre-registration through Rise Austin is required.
ABOUT THIS SESSION
This will be an interactive experience to learn of original research into what behaviors, attitudes, mindsets, and actions are being universally effective in this multi-generational market-place and work-force. Retention both of staff and of clients, plus informed, new staff recruiting will always be keys to your future success.
Ways to apply some of this inside-information to your benefit while creating contractor-relationships, collaborations and alliances, as well as partnerships, can also be incorporated.
We will address what’s already possibly working for you, what some of the challenges are being, and how to find middle-ground when differences seem quite vast between you and staff and contractors, you and parts of your client-base, or with collaborators.
As a founding participant in Bootstrap Austin, plus within my national and more global client-base, it’s become obvious developing SERVICES predominately to and for peers is not usually an ideal approach — unless, of course, you have PRODUCTS specifically designed for that purpose.
This is because it also often means a lot of reinvention (not knowing what is obvious for other generations) – and also with growth, organizational needs change substantially, especially in your contracting and staffing. Most typically, a mainly-peer-resource outreach does not have the experience to share to lead you to new solutions.
You can become generationally brilliant and at the very least – quite effective. In fact, many of you already are,
Find during this session what characteristics and traits you already carry and demonstrate to leverage into the future.
Handouts for your reflection will be provided. A list of companies that Lowry considers “generationally savvy” (or at least seriously endeavoring toward that) will also be offered.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Session: This will be an interactive session and you will be able to bring your questions and experiences to it to be considered for inclusion in being directly addressed
