In partnership with Legit, we are happy to announce the launch of Collaborative Chats, a monthly speakers series for the collaborative consumption movement, open to the sharing community.

In the Shareable spirit of coming together to explore the collaborative consumption space, join us for a conversation on Building Community in the Sharing Economy. 

How can community be cultivated online to facilitate peer-to-peer exchange? What social impacts will result from widespread adoption of collaborative consumption? Explore these questions and more with an outstanding panel of entrepreneurs, sociologists, and users including:

Shelby Clark, Founder + Chief Community Officer, RelayRides
Casey Fenton, Founder + Chief Inspiration Officer, CouchSurfing
Paolo Parigi + Bogdan State, Department of Sociology, Stanford University

Registration is now open! Spaces are limited.

Will the Q&A be broadcast for us east coast folks?

Can you stream this event? Pretty please?!

Hello Jince and Daniel!

While this event will not be streamed live, video will be recorded and made available on the Collaborative Chats site - http://collaborativechats.com/ - post event. I along with others will also be live tweeting, so look out for the #collabchats hashtag. And finally, we will cover the event on Shareable! What aspect of the topic are you interested in learning more about?

Milicent just posted a thoughtful recap of the event at http://www.shareable.net/blog/collabortative-chats-recap-building-commun.... We're also planning to post the video there (and tweet it at @ShareableDesign) once it's available.

@Daniel and @Jince: I'm curious to know whether you (or anyone else reading this) followed the live tweeting at #collabchats and whether it was any useful.

I would certainly appreciate any other ideas, suggestions, or constructive criticism!
