BEAHIVE Kingston - Shared Workspace & Collaborative Community

Coworking is coming to Kingston!

What's that, you say? Coworking is a growing trend in work collaboration.

Inspired by this worldwide movement, BEAHIVE (www.beahivekingston.com) is a new kind of shared workspace for independent professionals. At the most fundamental level, we provide a shared, creative work environment for solopreneurs, the creative class, microbusinesses and consultants.

We also plan programs and events to inspire, educate and bond members and the community: personal and professional development workshops, seminars, social and cultural events.

Perhaps more importantly, we're kicking around ideas to collaborate on projects to help in creating a lively, living, local community.

The original location opened in May right in the heart of Beacon's Main Street in an artisan-renovated 1907 Bell Telephone building. Now BEAHIVE is partnering with Chronogram (Luminary Publishing) to populate another hive in Kingston.

We're hoping we can help inject some energy into Kingston by corralling talented folks out of their homes and into one place to create a buzzing community space. We should be open on Wall St. in November.

We're looking for coworkers to join us. Please share your thoughts with us as we prepare to roll this thing out.

There are only 10 questions (NOTE: 2 pages) and it should take no more than 5 minutes.

Cheers,
Scott Tillitt / Antidote Collective/BEAHIVE
