Come join us to meet other people in the building. We will be playing a TED talk at 8:00am sharp so get there on time if you want to start off your morning right! Creative Buzz will happen every wednesday and is open to anyone in 250 Bell Street and members of the Reno Collective.

NCET’s Tech Wednesday on February 10

Nevada’s Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology will be hosting their monthly networking event, Tech Wednesday, here at the Collective this week!

Meet new people & mingle with the local tech and entrepreneur communities, plus check out our snazzy digs.

The event will run from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at our facility located at 250 Bell St, and tickets cost $15 in advance or $25 at the door. RSVPs are being handled via Facebook.

Lunch 2.0 at the Amendment 21 on February 11

Join us on Thursday, Feb 11th for the latest Lunch 2.0 event! Lunch 2.0 is a new way to meet other professionals outside the usual stuffy atmosphere you find at traditional “networking events,” and hopefully inspire more collaboration within the professional and tech community here in Reno.

This Lunch 2.0, hosted by Colin and me will feature some sneak peeks of upcoming technology and creativity-focuses events coming to Reno, including the Nevada Interactive Summit and Reno Collective’s weekly Creative Buzz!

As usual, don’t just sit and listen- the point to lunch 2.0 is to get everyone out of our cubicles and face to face over a great meal and great conversations.

As with Tech Wednesday, RSVPs for Lunch 2.0 are being handled by Facebook.

Valentines Vampire Crawl on February 13

As if those two events weren’t enough, the Reno Collective is a sponsor in the second annual Valentine’s Vampire Bar Crawl.

The Crawl, starting at 8pm at the Amendment 21 and consisting of 14 of Reno’s finest and most fun drinking establishments, features $2-$3 drink specials and costs only $5.

Proceeds from the crawl’s VIP party will go towards the Go Red for Women division of the American Heart Association.

Participants are encouraged to dress as vampires, vampire victims, vampire hunters, or whatever they think goes with them!

For more information, join our Facebook Group.

Thank you to everyone who everyone who braved the snow to come out to our launch party last week! We had a blast meeting new people, and mingling with those who have supported us since the beginning. There was beer, presentations and lots and lots of talking about Co-working, what the Collective is and what our plans are here in Reno.

One think in particular that we enjoyed was being able to look at our fledgling tech and entrepreneur community in person and having them meet one another. We also heard from Collective members Bryan Landaburu of Fuze and Mike Malody of the Amendment 21.

All photos were shot by Dave Calvert, and you can find his work at calvertphotography.com.

What began with Colin and I working once a week from a booth in a local coffee shop has materialized within the most inspiring building in Reno- 250 Bell St.; also home to Cathexes, REA250, the Clean Energy Center and more- as well as the birthplace of the Reno Bike Project and Bootleg Courier. So since we’re so excited about opening, we want you with us when we celebrate.

We’ll have beer & wine on hand, and some really awesome folks here you can connect with. You’ll be able to tour our setup, mingle and see a small featurette about the future of work. Also, everyone who comes to the party will receive a free ticket to the Sol Jibe show later that night at the Knitting Factory! See you Thursday!

RSVP for Freelance Camp Reno-Tahoe

This is a small blessing in disguise as we are confident that Reno Collective will be opening its doors on November 1st and we may be able to host the event at our building.

Mike and Nate over at Amendment 21 have been more than good to us as we’ve collaborated on events in the past such as the themed bar crawls, geek nights and Lunch 2.0. We are now doing a benefit show on August 1st featuring Black Rock City All Stars and Bohemian Burlesque.

The all-ages event will kick-off outside Amendment 21 at 7pm with Black Rock City All Stars, hula hoopers, Bohemian Burlesque, booths from local community organizations, and more. At 10pm, we’ll bring the party inside for a 21+ performance by Bohemian Burlesque.

Get in the door with a $5 donation that will help us develop and continue hosting wonderful resources and events for the Reno community. Drink specials include $5 PBJ’s.

I personally look forward to attending the conference because I didn’t get to enjoy the speakers as much as I could have while trying to orchestrate our Reno-Tahoe event. There are a few things we’re working on that we look forward to sharing while we’re down there.
