Transcript of CAMP Coworking in Omaha
"[A coworking space] like a clubhouse for anyone who doesn't have their own office...or periodically needs to get out of theirs. If you normally work from home, cafes, or libraries, you might want to try coworking. You get to work next to smart, interesting, creative people from more industries than you can imagine."
-Alex HillmanOwner, Indy Hall
