# Look into the “Future of Work” with Philip Rosedale, founder of Second Life and cofounder of Coffee & Power

Work has changed a great deal, this century. Partly because of the Internet. Partly because it simply needed to change.

[Coffee & Power](http://www.coffeeandpower.com/ "Coffee & Power") is one example of that change—enabling independents to work and sell their services in a common marketplace. With coffee. And power.

Now, you can hear from the guy who created the concept—well and another project you might have heard of called Second Life—[this Wednesday at Urban Grind NW](http://cp-urban-grind.eventbrite.com/ "The Future of Work, Conversation with Scott Kveton and Philip Rosedale"), home of [Portland’s Coffee & Power outpost](http://siliconflorist.com/2012/02/15/entrepreneurs-coffee-power-portland/ "Entrepreneurs need two things: coffee and power").

Join [Philip Rosedale](https://twitter.com/philiplinden "Philip Rosedale") around 6:30 to get a glimpse at some of the thinking behind Coffee & Power. As an added bonus, [Scott Kveton](http://twitter.com/kveton "Scott Kveton"), co-founder of [Urban Airship](http://urbanairship.com "Urban Airship"), will be joining the conversation.

Food and drink will be provided. Space is limited. [Please RSVP on Eventbrite](http://cp-urban-grind.eventbrite.com/ "The Future of Work, Conversation with Scott Kveton and Philip Rosedale").
