The Summer Of Workshifting Tours

By Greg Rollett on July 12, 2010 9:25 AM | Comments | No TrackBacks
Summertime is exciting for a variety of reasons. No school, longer hours of sunlight, short shorts and the awesome summer tours that let kids in vans live out their dreams day in and day out.

You may be familiar with the Warped Tour, Bamoboozle, Ozz Fest and other heavy hitters but this summer there is a new type and style of tour that is far more interesting to young people, workshifters and entrepreneurs. Two crews of ambitious start-ups and freelancers are hitting the road this summer, much like one of the bands of Warped Tour, and coming to a city near you to interact, learn, share and experience all the excitement that is happening around the country. The two tours are GenJuice and the Way Below Status Quo Tour.

GenJuice

GenJuice is a 13 city tour that aims to connect and highlight young innovators, influencers and go-getters across the nation. Hitting major cities like SanFrancisco, Atlanta, Chicago, New York and more, they have been sharing their adventures and workshifting along the way at co-working buildings, at empty desks at start-up companies's offices and filming every step of the way. With help from sponsors Justin.tv, BazaarVoice, The Cash Flow and more they have the support of the young tech and entrepreneurship crowd and bring an interesting unconference style that draws from the personalities of the co-founders, Arielle Patrice-Scott, Virgilia Singh and Danielle Leslie. Look for GenJuice coming to a city near you!


The Way Below Status Quo Tour

picture-3
This adventurous journey is the coming together of 3 nomad and lifestyle design bloggers and entrepreneurs - Colin Wright, Andi Norris and Ashley Ambirge who wanted to bring interested, motivated individuals together to facilitate in-person, connect with the communities that have supported their respective online endeavors and create a link between both groups, essentially forging a network of remarkable people that's tighter than Fort Knox. Sounds pretty ambitious and it is. They will be dropping into most of America during the trek, navigating unconferences, volunteering with charities, organizing meetups and looking to find other inspired young individuals. I'll be hanging out with the crew at their Orlando put stop on July 12th.

What Are Your Summer Workshifting Plans?

With more and more young people going after their dreams, working from the road and joining co-working spots, there is an immense opportunity to collaborate, brainstorm and integrate your ideas with that of others. The advent of Workshifting is helping to make this more and more real everyday. So as the temperature gets warmer here, what are your workshifting plans this summer? Do you want to get out of the office more and work remotely (say from a nice beach) or do you want to take your show on the road, generate experiences with your customers, readers and fans? Whatever your plans are, feel free to share in the comments below.
