What is co-working?
Co-working is a contemporary working method that enables the self-employed ad other proffesionals to share, occasionally or permanently, the “co-working” space with other creators from their own or any related field.
This first of the kind event in Maribor offers the chance to become familiar with this particular way of coworking hands-on, and see what it's like to share the working space with other creators from a variety of fields, especially if you are self-employed or working in a small team, and wish for a better communication, networking and creative energy flow during your work day.

Do you need to be present the entire time of the coworking?
By no means. You can join in for as long as you like – an hour, a couple of hours, or through the entire event. Everyone is free to create according to their own desires and standards.
The purpose behind the event is to establish regular enterprise co-workshops in Maribor, and to stimulate the growth of a true co-working space in the near future, one that is open to all entrepeneurs, businessmen and other interested parties, and that has already been established in cities across Europe and globally.
