Bragging Rights
Where are the best cities for knowledge workers? Charleston is #2!! In the September issue, Area Development Online reports that Next Generation Consulting (NGC) has ranked Charleston #2 out of 80 communities in North America. Join me and other Digital Corridor companies at the Corridor Bash to celebrate this ranking. Congratulations to our wonderful knowledge based community. Pssst- it just got bigger by three - Acadia, Wonderlic and sineLABS.

The Digital Corridor's 6th Annual Networking Bash is October 15, 2009 at the Charleston Maritime Center on the Charleston Harbor from 5:30 - 8:00pm. The Bash is the Digital Corridor's annual event to promote networking among business professionals in Charleston's knowledge economy.

Flagship Update
The Flagship, Charleston's premier co-working facility which launched in June is at full occupancy with some of Charleston's Next Companies™. We are so encouraged by the early success of the Flagship that we are actively exploring rolling out the concept with private partners in other areas of Charleston. Have some thoughts, let me know.
iFive:k Update
Plans for the 4th annual Innovator's 5k are well underway. This evening Run/Walk/Shuffle that courses through historic Charleston is quickly becoming a favorite for athletes, business professionals and visitors alike. The 2010 race, scheduled for April 22 at 6:30pm, promises participants an invigorating 3.1 miles followed by a celebration on the Charleston harbor.
Last year's iFive:k record breaking winner, with a time of 16:18, Karl Walsh, will lead the Digital Corridor's wellness effort by hosting two monthly evening runs starting January 2010. Stay tuned for more details!
