One of our residents, Chris Punke, wrote about his first month of coworking from Impromptu Studio. We have enjoyed having Chris around and we are glad that he has enjoyed his time here so far.

“After a year of relative isolation in an office suite, I have enjoyed having others around to talk to throughout the day, and am finding myself to be much more productive. (Apparently being holed-up by myself day after day was getting to me.)” – Chris Punke, FocalPoint Blog

Des Moines Web Geeks held their kickoff meeting at Impromptu Studio on Thursday, August 14. The meeting was also the inaugural event for Impromptu Studio. Des Moines Web Geeks is a group of web professionals and enthusiasts who meet to share and discuss their ideas. The first meeting included a presentation about Django framework and an adhoc session discussing the latest and greatest trends.  With over twenty people in attendance the meeting was a success for both Des Moines Web Geeks and Impromptu Studio.  The experience has provided us with ideas to improve our space for future events.

Impromptu Studio would like to thank Chris Punke of Focal Point, and Jeremy Harrington of Crawl Space Media for their help.

A recording of the meeting is available at http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/635045.

Chris Punke, of Focal Point MultiMedia has included a write up on his blog about why he is excited by the creation of Impromptu Studio. His words demonstrate the mentality of the type of business person Impromptu Studio is working to appeal to.
