We’re streamlining, iterating, updating, organizing. There was a big “Go Button” floating ’round here and somebody slammed it like their life depended on it. We’ve boiled everything down to two simple coworking plans. No matrices or complicated formulas, lots of freedom.

Desk Coworking

Grab a desk – no really, grab it – plant your things, call it home, and work anytime 24/7: $200/month.

Mobile Coworking

Pull up a chair at one of the shared tables or workstations during coworking hours for only $50/month – that’s as many days a month as you want.

New Extended Hours

In addition to our normal 9am-6pm M-F hours we are staying open late every Wednesday until 10pm for some extra open-coworking goodness.

Impromptu is all about community, and we want to build as large and strong of a coworking community as we can. With the new plans, you could afford to cowork just to have a place to call home for your blog or side projects. Getting signed up is as simple as sending a note to hello@impromptustudio.com!

Impromptu Studio is known for a few things: being a hub for Des Moines entrepreneurs, highlighting and connecting our community, and throwing KICKASS shindigs!  In October, Impromptu Studio plans to do ALL OF THEM AT ONCE!  We lined up ~20 sponsors (which we kindly referred to as the Movers & Shakers of Des Moines) to help make this a reality so a BIG shout out is in order for them.  A larger, more legible version of the poster below will be be gracing local businesses and available for download shortly!

On October 22nd, 2009 the Movers & Shakers of Des Moines are throwing a big party for all of the folks who are helping put the Midwest back on the map. This party is called the MOVEMENT BASH and it will include free bevvies, free food, and free entertainment:

Since opening our doors August 4th, 2008 we have had the pleasure of meeting and working with many people. The video below recaps a few of our favorite moments from the last few months.

Coworking Workspace Comes To Downtown Des Moines
DES MOINES, Iowa (July 30, 2008) – Impromptu Studio premieres as the next generation of shared, professional workspace in Downtown Des Moines on August 4, 2008.

Fueled by the growth of his company, Redship Technologies, founder Daniel Shipton was inspired to create a coworking space for the independent professionals of Des Moines. Impromptu Studio will bring a sense of community to its workspace by fostering a collaborative environment and providing basic office amenities to its members. “While retaining their individuality, entrepreneurs are able to leave isolation behind,” says Shipton. “It’s about community. Coworking merges the open, relaxed coffee shop atmosphere with a productive work environment.”

Membership plans range from $125-$350 per month which can include a desk, 24×7 access, storage, and meeting time in our multiple meeting rooms or conference room. Daily drop-in rates are available as well as customized monthly plans. Ample parking, high-speed wireless internet, black & white printing, faxing, copying, and coffee are provided at no charge for members and drop-ins. Space is available to rent for those who wish to hold meetings and promotional events at Impromptu Studio. Its location has easy access to I-235 and only is a few blocks to the best of what downtown provides for events, restaurants and shops. The initial drop-in day is always free for those who are interested in coworking from Impromptu Studio. Beginning August 4th, 2008, Impromptu Studio is welcoming visitors and coworkers at 300 Southwest 5th Street, Suite 220 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m
