Opportunity: Free Co-Working . . . and Cake

Co-working, the idea of sharing office space, has been around since, well, before Office Space. It comes in various forms and flavors, from incubators offering virtual incubation that includes use of a conference room and by-the-day office or cubicle, to Regus and Laptop Lane offering shared facilities around the country to its members.

In the Tri-Cities region (the NC-TN-VA border area where are live) there are several government or not-for-profit incubators offering this option, and two for-profit co-working spaces.

Spark Plaza, one of those for-profit co-working spaces is celebrating its birthday next week, October 2. More precisely, its half-birthday.  Below are the basics, with more details on the Launchpin.com calendar:
