At BBC, for the last five years, we’ve been a proving ground for product testing and presentation practice, for vision sharing, critical analysis, referral networking and new ideas assessment.
In that spirit of community and entrepreneurial serendipity we’ll have a special presentation and discussion lead by our own OfficeXpats Grand HostessLeslie Schneider.
Leslie will give an overview of trends collectively called the sharing or collaborative economy. Of course coworking is part of it — but so is car sharing (likeZipCar) and air sharing (like SurfAir), the Open Source movement, crowdfunding and crowdsourcing, peer-to-peer (P2P) services likeAirbnb, the resilience movement, and the gift economy. Leslie will sharesome of her favorite sources for keeping tabs on what’s new, and we’ll discuss what we collectively know about what’s here and what’s coming.
Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all businesswise!
So, invite your friends and associates to come Share with us this exciting non-virtual non-cloud Collaborative event in real time and real space … and another delicious cup of BBC!
