From 3rd Ward:

The world is changing. Independent workers represent over 30% of the American workforce. Technology is changing what we do and how we do it. Today, we’re not judged by the number of the widgets we make, but by the ideas we generate. Welcome to a new economy that demands new ways of working.

Come join us as we celebrate the Grand Opening of our new Coworking space with a networking event for today’s creative coworker. 3rd Ward provides freelancers the structure and support of a traditional office environment, with an added bonus: a wealth of creative facilities, classes, and networking opportunities for daily inspiration and consistent growth.

Hang out and meet innovators in every industry over complimentary drinks and snacks. This event will also feature:

– 3rd Ward Membership Associates will help you find the best coworking options for you.

– 3rd Ward Teachers will conduct workshops in Online Marketing Techniques and E-Commerce.

– Althea Erickson, the Advocacy and Policy Director of Freelancers Union, will speak about the growing freelance movement and its social and political impact. Freelancers Union reps will answer questions on freelancer rights and concerns.

– Jessica Lawrence, the Managing Director of NY Tech Meetup, will talk about their monthly product presentations which have been integral to the birth of NYC’s tech scene and to successful companies including Tumblr and FourSquare.
