When
Community coffee and conversation at FORGE at Roy Place. Pop in for a quick cup or stay for Thursdays at FORGE!
To begin Thursdays at FORGE on a light, caffeinated note, we'll meet downstairs in Roy's Place for coffee and conversation from 8:30am - 9:30am. Each week, we'll set a broad topic and invite one or two guests who can lend special enthusiasm, experience or expertise.
Not interested in the topic? Pop in anyway! While we're on Stone, the topics aren't set in it. Also, if coffee isn't your thing, there will be tea.
Thursdays at FORGE will continue upstairs in the Hub. Come for the coffee, stay for the conversation.
RSVP for lets drink coffee and talk about ...
Collide, interact and collaborate at Tucson's community 'soft workday.' It's not co-working. It's community.
In a September Atlantic piece contemplating the role of the office in the post-return to work era, Derek Thompson identified two distinct work states: hard work -- heads-down tasks requiring focus and minimized interruptions -- and soft work -- "the vague middle space of weekday activity that isn't hard work but also isn't not-work." He opined that the former can be done at home just as well as if not better than the office, whereas the latter can only be done at the office. We agree with Derek. The space at Roy Place is designed for human interactions, not spreadsheets.
Beginning on March 17, from 8:30am - 12:00pm, you are invited to join us for Thursdays at FORGE, Tucson's community 'soft workday' where we can maximize the collision, interaction and collaboration that we have been missing in our home offices.
The day starts with coffee and conversation in our downstairs event space, then we'll move upstairs to FORGE's Hub, normally closed to the public. Arrive by noon for access to the building!
Food trucks will set up shop across the street at Jácome Plaza from about 11am to 2pm:
- Nhu Lan Vietnamese
- Taco Torte
- Super Chicken Wraps
- Desserts from Heaven
All Thursdays at FORGE attendees will receive a free water or soda with their lunch order! Food truck proceeds go to the Southern Arizona Animal Food Bank.
