Fellow entrepreneur and co-creator of Silicon Prairie News, Jeff Slobotski, stopped in at Impromptu Studio in September. Jeff lives and works in Omaha, Nebraska and is an enthusiastic proponent for technology in the Midwest.  He is also working on opening a coworking space in Omaha. His website Silicon Prairie News covers the new generation of up and comers in Omaha and the surrounding Midwest.

While Jeff was in town he was nice enough to stop by our new space to see what we have created. We gave Jeff the grand tour of Impromptu, talked about the upcoming event called Highlight Midwest and then talked about the challenges involved in openening a coworking space. At the end of his visit he did a short interview with Impromptu Studio’s founder, Daniel Shipton. Check the interview out below.

On Thursday August 28th Impromptu Studio celebrated its Grand Opening with an open coworking day and cocktail party after the work day. A full house of 12 people showed up to work during the day including a reporter from the local magazine “Juice”. Impromptu had to go borrow an extra table from the furniture store to provide everyone with space. Most of the group walked to lunch at a local favorite the “High Life Lounge” for burgers and tator tots.

We had a great turn out at the cocktail party. Tours running all evening and lots of businesses in the area came out to support us.

We want to thank everyone who came out to cowork with us and those who stayed to celebrate in the evening. We had a great day and it wouldn’t have been a sucess without the great community we are a part of.
