Urban Think! To re-open as a Creative Center, Please Take the Survey
Into Coworking? Make stuff? Are you a writer? Looking for a space to hold events? Hoping to have a decent place to work, collaborate, and meet downtown? You should fill out this survey.
In March of 2010, after eight years as a community bookstore in downtown Orlando and Thornton Park, the Urban Think! Bookstore closed its doors, leaving as its legacy the Urban Think! Foundation.
The Foundation believes that when creativity flourishes, the community benefits, and through its mission to enrich Orlando's cultural landscape the Foundation is working to re-think the bookstore space as a creative center serving the Orlando community.
Please join us in helping shape the future of the former bookstore by filling out this short survey to assess how this new space might serve you.

BarCamp Orlando 2010
Location
Artists, trend-spotters, activists, geeks and performers from Orlando and all around the SouthEast will be flocking to Orlando for an annual event unlike any other in Central Florida. BarCamp is a conference with no keynote speaker, no pre-defined schedule and no admission fee. It sounds like a bunch of chaos, but in fact it's one of the most fun days you can participate in. It's very easy to be involved, speak your mind, meet likeminded folks, maybe get a job, or just hand out and listen to all the passionate conversations happening in and out of the rooms where sessions are held.
This ad-hoc day of sessions invites participants to control the programming by preparing a 20 minute talk on any creative topic and presenting it to other participants. A large board separated into time slots will be opened at 9AM. Those wishing to lead discussions should be present early to write the name of his or her session on the board first thing in the morning.
Or ask Nick about BarCamp:
There will be an hour break in the middle for lunch, which is being provided thanks to our generous sponsors.
