Hello coworking world!
I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Stefanie. I am the Marketing and Programming Manager for 2112inc in Chicago. We are a creative arts incubator located in the ecosystem that is Fort Knox Studios. We just launched last July so this forum has been super helpful. I can’t believe I am just now joining!
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posts and all the advice and tips. This is a really great thing.
Nice to meet all of you!!
Thank you Stefanie, same here: We startet our coworking / coworkation space May 25th, 2015 – and it is now that I join this group (I was too Facebook-focussed, sorry). And also a big THANK YOU for this great resource for coworking hosts and for the lively community.
We – a German expat couple from Munich/Cologne – moved Oct 2014 to Southeast Mallorca to start coworking in a rural area. Our small pueblo Santanyí got an Internet connection via fibre optics last summer - which is one of our USP against all the hotels, houses, fincas and so on situated directly at the coast (3km from us). Our community is still growing: Some of our coworkers live here like ourselves and drop by occasionaly. One coworker is ‘hibernating’ in our town and will go back to Germany in May. Other coworkers are travelers from Germany, UK, the US, and the next step will be corporate coworkers living in fincas rented by their companies around Santanyí. Very interesting perspective.
Check out Rayaworx – we’re on Facebook • Twitter • Instagram • Google – and yes, we participate in the coworking visa program.
Saludos con sol desde Santanyí,
Doris
Hi Doris. Can you tell me more about this coworking visa program? I am interested.
Thanks.

Welcome to the community, Stefanie! Glad to see you introducing yourself here, and I’d personally love to hear more about your arts community, what kind of people are in it and how it works.
That coworking visa program is a simple agreement between spaces to welcome members of other spaces for a few days at no charge, in exchange for the same in return for their members. While there are more formal agreements in some networks, this one is uniquely open and transparent.
Open Coworking has a great summary here: http://opencoworking.org/news/projects/the-coworking-visa/
And The Network Hub curates this map of participating communities: http://coworkingvisamap.com/
I personally love to welcome people from other communities at Indy Hall on the visa program because we get to learn about other coworking communities around the world and we get to make sure people have an incredible time while they’re visiting our city!
And let’s be honest - there’s nothing better than feeling “at home” in a place where you’ve never been

Hi Alex.
This is great! I will definitely be sharing with our members. So about the space, Fort Knox Studios is a 160,000 sq ft creative arts ecosystem if you will. We opened in 2011 and it started out as just a monthly rehearsal space for musicians. It quickly grew and we added a pro studio space, Icon Pro Studios, which is more for national artists touring. As the studio continued to grow, we wanted to add a space that included the business side of the creative arts. That is how 2112 was born. It is about 20,000 sq ft and we have shared work space, reserved work space and private offices. We have breakout rooms for meetings and a conference room along with an event space. We started off slow but this year has brought us a lot of members. We have members in music tech, lawyers, marketing folks, media companies, app developers and members in the film world. Our members are all across the board in the creative arts and it’s really great to see this all come to fruition. We are expanding this summer to add more offices! Our mentors have been incredible as well. I like to refer to 2112 as a relationship station.
Of course we all grow as 2112 grows and it is so fantastic to know that there is a coworking community. The whole concept and 2112 in general has become such a large part of our lives that it’s so nice to share with others and hear about other spaces. I can’t thank you enough for this forum and all the wonderful advice. I would love to come check out Indy Hall. I am there quite often for baseball games.
If you are ever in Chicago, please stop by! It would be great to meet you.
Thanks again!
