Well, we had an Open House back in May as a soft opening. I want to now start monthly Meet-ups/Open House days so that would be a great time to visit. Our site is not typical by far. First off it is small as we try to increase interest and participation in co-working here in Syracuse. Our office seats 6 desks right now, with one additional day- use desk. We do have the use of the conference room adjacent to the office itself, that can seat another 5-10 depending on how close peeps don't mind getting.
The office itself is in a studio space at the Gear Factory artists studio warehouse. We are focusing our efforts on arts/music/invention and community social entrepreneurship, so the office desk spaces are exclusive right now to this range of workers. But the space is not exclusive to our upcoming invitations for day use Meet-ups when we will be trying to develop a broader general co-working community in Syracuse. Please feel free to get in touch at any time. Cheers ~Frank On Jun 26, 1:53 pm, Tony Bacigalupo <[email protected]> wrote: > WOW congrats Franklen & Alchemical!
