Thanks Nan!
Regina Villalobos, our genius PR goddess, got us booked on San Antonio Living this Wednesday at around 9:15 am. Watch for Todd talking the Pink Slip Mixer Talk and walking the coworking walk.
In case you missed it we’re having our second Pink Slip Mixer here at the space on Thursday, February 4 from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm. It’s a networking event for mid-level and professional job seekers and recruiters and HR staffers.
Our first event was a great success with good feedback from both the candidates and the hiring type people. We’re looking forward to more of the same.

See ya there!
By day, a mild mannered coworking space.
By night, a groovy, hip happening place!
We wanted from the start to have events in our space. It connects us to the community, exposes people to our members and evangelizes coworking in general. We’ve been blessed with lots of great events since we opened. And we’ve made lots of new friends and new connections.

We started off Thanksgiving early with some residents, members and our neighbor SWEBAPPS.
We do brew some coffee down here at C4 Workspace but we’re definitely not a coffee shop.
And to solidfy our non-coffeeshopness we have a little different kind of brewing coming soon – beeer!.
Dan “Original” Gomez (@originalgomez) is hosting a FREE Teach Your Friend to Homebrew workshop on Saturday, November 7. On October 2 Greg Harman (SA Current) stopped by and Twitpic’d this snap.
Dan is pretty passionate and waaay knowledgeable about beer of all sorts. The workshop runs all day from 9 to 3. RSVP at the Facebook Group.
Hey! It’s FREEEE! And Tastes Good AND is Less Filling! That’s like a Beer Trifecta!
Here’s the preso I gave for this week’s Brown Bag lunch. It features all the services we use here at C4 Workspace to keep the trains running — and hopefully keep the lights on too.
C4 Workspace and a bunch of others are hosting a Pink Slip Mixer on Thursday, September 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm to help connect under employed professionals with the companies and agencies who may have opportunities for them.
Pink Slip Mixers had their start when Wall Street got clobbered in the fall of 2008. Frankly, their soirees were more about drwoning their sorrows than connecting with the right people.
The Pink Slip Mixer is a non-threatening, social event. It is not a job fair. It is not for entry level people. The event is for for mid level, experienced professionals who have gotten the short end of the economy’s stick. And it’s for people in a position to hire the aforementioned professionals to meet and mingle with them outside a sterile interview or [shudder] The Job Fair.
We currently have 2 search firms lined up and are talking with two others as well as a few corporate HR departments.
The evening will start at 6 pm with sign in, name tag affixing, wrist banding and door prize ticket acquisition. It will run through 8 pm with breaks to give out door prizes. In between it’s all about talking with people. People looking for work and people looking for good employees and contractors. There will be snacks and refreshments throughout the evening. And attendees will have a chance to get a professional profile picture taken to flesh out their online profiles on sites like LinkedIn.
This Pink Slip event is right in line with our mission here at C4 Workspace. We’re all about a sustainable professional community. Sustainability starts at home with bringing home the bacon (or soy substitute). We know not everyone is cut out for running a solo business and not all solo’s are cut out to work in traditional office environment. But we all gotta cowork in some fashion. So Pink Slip brings together San Antonio’s professional community to work together and network. And that’s what C4 Workspace is all about.
The Pink Slip Mixer is brought to you by:
It’s back to school time and for many of us and that means back to (serious) work with the kids in school.
Back to school for me is always about starting fresh. So how or what do you do to start fresh at Back to School time?
BrownBag Lunch: Back to School, Back to Work
Wednesday, August 26
11:30 am – 1 pm
C4 Workspace
Come on out for our first Brown Bag Lunch and share!
(You don’t have to share your lunch but ideas are great!)
The San Antonio chapter of the American Advertising Federation (AAF) held their annual board retreat in our community space. This is a great example of how the space at C4 Workspace can be used. The shared desks were rearranged to form a large “U” shaped meeting table and the group used the different spaces like the lounge and conference room for breakouts. Check out the pictures below.
