Adobe Furthers Marketing Software Ambitions with TubeMogul Acquisition
By Jack Marshall

Regus bringing Coworking to Watergate Tower
Coworking spaces in neighboring cities have sprouted up due to the demands of an ever-changing workforce. WeWork in Berkeley, Impact Hub in Oakland and NextSpace are examples of models that have thrived by offering flexible workspaces to the increasingly mobile and independent workforce. These spaces generally provide an open office space with speedy WiFi, check-in conference rooms and shared kitchen areas. This model is said to encourage members to network, fosters a collaborative environment and has served as an incubator for startups.
Emeryville residents looking for a local solution without squatting at our local cafe’s have been left out in the cold – until now. Regus, a multinational corporation that provides a global workplace solutions, is finally bringing this option for Emeryville’s workforce. The pricing has not yet been determined but their nearby Alameda Marina location is $159 a month for 5 day a week access. According to a sales rep we spoke with, the service is slated to launch on February 13th, 2017.
