Emily Morgan and Cheryl Amaya of Entrepreneur’s Entourage are!

Entrepreneur’s Entourage will be hosting our first off-site Coworking & Networking Day in Philadelphia! This month’s will be Thursday, December 10th at Double Shots Coffee, located at 211 Chestnut Street in Old City. We will be there starting at 10am, so drop by anytime, open up your laptop, start a conversation, grab some great coffee or a pastry and get some work done…or at least some good networking done!  Maybe we can even convince our favorite Double Shots owner, Steve to make us some fresh gingerbread cookies like he did for us today!

We have a great group of established Philly entrepreneurs interested in making new connections and sharing a desk for the afternoon.  There’s no agenda and no dress code!  Spend the afternoon or just drop by and check your email – with a group of active business owners we are guaranteed to have an exciting time!

Coworking may be a new concept to you, or coworking may be something you are big fan of and are currently supporting in Philadelphia through jelly sessions or established coworking office spaces.  Whether you run a virtual or brick and mortar business, coworking not only provides you with an escape from your office for the day but it also facilitates connections and offers opportunities to think and communicate more creatively about your business, bounce ideas off of other entreps and could even lead to new business!

So, bust out of your lonely office for the morning or afternoon and experience a new type of collaborative work environment; Coworking in Center City Philadelphia!

Steffi Freedman of Corps Pilates and Ladies Who Launch and Gloria Bell of Entrepreneur’s Entourage and Red Stapler Consulting will be among some of the fabulous Philadelphia entrepreneurs and business owners that will be participating in this coworking day in the city!  We hope to add your name to the list as well!

Please RSVP to let us know you will be joining this fabulous group, and check for any updates on the Entrepreneur’s Entourage website as well!  Be sure to leave your comments below with any suggestions or feedback you might have on the event.

All day we will be tweeting and blogging to bring you updates about this coworking and networking day.  If you are going to share your comments or posts from the event please use #EECoworking.

Keep up with us:

Each month, on the second Thursday of the month, we will be working collaboratively around the city with other entrepreneurs, solopreneurs and small business owners looking for a change of scenery and a chance to reap the benefits of a collaborative work group environment.  Bring your laptops, grab a cup of coffee  and spend the afternoon working next to other successful (and connected!)  Philly entrepreneurs.
Be sure to check out our vlog post live from Double Shots where Cheryl gives an overview of what to expect!
