Description

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, 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 VietnameseTaco TorteSuper Chicken WrapsDesserts from HeavenAll 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.
