Coffee shops have been the birthplace of revolutions. Is there a new one brewing? How can coffee shops and coworking spaces collaborate to offer a full suite of options for tomorrow's mobile workforce? Are coffee shops and cafes the unsung incubators of making ideas happen? We'll talk about what businesses experience when providing space, WiFi and amenities for patrons looking to get work done and we'll answer that burning question: how long is too long when getting work done at a local coffee shop?
