At Impromptu Studio we strive to do great things for and with the business and technology communities. It is awful nice to hear feedback and feel the support from our community in whatever medium. Today has been one of those days. To that end, we want to thank James Eliason, Founder of Twittad for making a donation to Impromptu Studio.

“Impromptu Studio not only provides a great work environment for shared office space in Des Moines, it provides a great spot for meetings and conferences. I highly recommend that all local Des Moines and surrounding businesses hop on and support the Studio!” – James Eliason, Founder and CEO of Twittad

We love being a part of the great things that are happening in Des Moines and hope to be a part of everything for a long time to come. So a big thanks goes to James and Twittad for their continued support in making Impromptu Studio a sustainable reality.

Feeling Philanthropic? Attend ActionCamp Des Moines!

Daniel Shipton — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:35:11 +0000

During Ignite Des Moines, Claire Celsi talked about the growing homeless population in Des Moines. To that end we are organizing a #dmtweetup that will band tweeps together to feed the homeless at a local shelter. This is a great idea and we thank Claire for bringing it to our attention.

Feeding off Claire’s energy and passion, we wanted to find other ways to take the scale of Ignite Des Moines and use it to harness the power of our community for good deeds. Our founder, Daniel Shipton, had an idea come to mind that could help out ALL charities and causes: ActionCamp.

ActionCamp is about gathering really smart people with diverse backgrounds that want to make a difference in their local communities. We put these bright minds in the same room, provide information about the important local causes and charities, then let them brainstorm about how to make a difference. What can the power of people accomplish in 30 hours? We will find out!

Mark your calendars! ActionCamp Des Moines will take place on December 6th & 7th here at Impromptu Studio.

Visit the ActionCamp Des Moines website to find out more details!
