About the Week

Coworking + Collaboration + Community

What happens when you gather the makers of collaborative spaces and the people who work in them? Join us for a week of coworking, community events and collaboration and find out!

 

Tickets are free and give you access to explore Portland's best collaborative and shared work spaces.

 

Coworking sparked the rise of the sharing economy and has given countless individuals, entrepreneurs and startups across industries a way to affordably start and grow their passions into businesses.

 

This is a week devoted to celebrating those people and places creating the commons. It's also a conference for freelancers, artists, startups and remote employees to connect, work alongside others, socialize, and learn tips for safer, more productive work in coworking environments.

PDC Coworking Scholarship

Community is at the root of coworking and strong communities are built on collaboration, diversity and access. In an effort to bring more access to and foster an inclusive coworking community in Portland, the Portland Development Commission and Workfrom have created a scholarship for one lucky attendee of Portland Coworking Week 2015. We’re looking for diverse applicants who are typically underrepresented in the coworking community due to age, gender, ethnicity, race, or other factors. Just answer a few simple questions about who you are and how this scholarship will advance your goals.


We'll hold a random drawing from a pool of the best answers and award a $450 credit towards membership at any of the participating coworking spaces of your choice.


We'll announce the winner at Friday morning's closing session, though you needn't be present to win.
