I'm already thinking ahead to our launch party. Aside from the local
VIPs...politicians, chamber folks, etc, what have others done to host
an exciting launch party?

My co-founder and I are huge Commodore geeks, so we brought in our old computers, my Vic20 and his 64, and some of our old games, and that was the entertainment for the night. It fit right in for our community and kept it low key, which was what we were hoping for.

nice. i especially like the "future of..." presentation and the
pitching contest. I can see the pitching contest with a year of
membership as a prize. we could also set it up so that everyone is a
winner...full-time and two different levels of our flexible plans.
Thanks!

Thanks Rachel! That sounds like a fun night. I don't think we have
anything has vintage as a Commodore 64 but I do recall seeing a couple
of consoles in the garage that made me as why. LOL! There is actually
a store in one of our malls that sells early gaming systems and games.
they are by no means cheap.

Other thoughts:
I like the idea of a ribbon cutting, but only if it also includes first members holding or cutting the ribbon.
I encourage media, especially if you are the only space in town.
If there are other spaces, I encourage an invitation be sent to them too and if you have some brief speeches ask them to say a few words about how awesome and essential coworking is.

Rachel, we will have a ribbon cutting. That's one of the "benefits" of
joining the Chamber of Commerce. The elected officials and media are a
must. One of the reasons I want to start planning now is to make sure
they can fit it in their schedules. We have about 5 or 6 other
coworking spaces in our city/area. One will just be opening in a
couple of weeks. The other is Caroline Collective. I am sure we can
get someone from both to pop by.
We're planning to have a youth program as well, so we could probably
have a pitch contest for teens with a small scholarship prize. hmmm, i
thinking now. LOL

Toni, Rachel,
Can I ask a really silly question? I too am looking for Launch Ideas...What is a pitch contest?
Great idea inviting other cowork spaces to talk, we have a few in the city of St. Louis, but none that I know of in St. Louis County.

Hey Cheryl. We saw it on Auden's link: "Three ambitious startups from
Mesh will do a pitching contest in front of a jury..." It seems akin
to what they do at Startup Weekend events or Shark Tank, if you've
ever watched that show. Awwww, Shark Tank! I wonder is I could use the
name. LOL
