A friend mentioned today that naming our upcoming DemoCampGuelph inspired event “DemoCampGuelph Old School” was confusing. Some people may think we’re stopping the existing DCG and replacing it with these events. To clarify, DCG proper is not changing. All we’re doing here at ThreeFortyNine is hosting a smaller, more intimate event inspired by the early […]
[Note: Cross posted with shiftMode] What does Banana Tax, Mailman Boots, and Fire Extinguisher Guitar have in common? They were all pitched last night at ThreeFortyNine as real businesses. A bunch of us got together and played a version of Dave McClure’s half baked last night and it worked. If you can craft a compelling pitch […]

We BBQ a lot on Friday’s here at 349. As the season for BBQ’ing is stretching thin, we wanted to host one last BBQ that was opened up to the public. If you’re coworking-curious, this is a great chance to see what we’re doing. If you’re not, well just come by, meet us and have […]
We’re thinking about hosting an event here at ThreeFortyNine and wanted to get your 2 cents.

Since getting a front row seat there and seeing the amount of apps created in a single day, I’ve been conspiring with Leila and Corey to bring them to Guelph. The event registration page […]
We’re hosting a very cool event this weekend that we’re calling UX Tuneup. We’re hosting 4 or 5 user experience guru’s here in an informal event that will be based around reviewing our own applications. Attendees will be invited to offer up their projects and apps for us all to review. The intent is to […]
CTV published a story a week or two ago about companies trying to ease commutes. It would have been great to see coworking mentioned in this mix. Coworking represents a great middle ground between full time commuting and working from home. Several of our full time members have jobs in other cities as far away […]
Just a head’s up that we’re working on hosting a user experience event here at ThreeFortyNine Coworking. We’re scheming with the braintrust behind uxWaterloo to get something started shortly. What I do know is that we’ll sponsor and host it here. It will be some sort of peer review where we get together with some […]
