In its most general sense, Gangplank is a set of beliefs:
We will encourage a collaborative effort to share industry insights (for both web professionals and their clients) in the form of workshops, brown-bag lunches, conferences, print materials, and other resources. Learning is a daily activity.
Web professionals thrive when they are surrounded by their peers. Bridging the gap, Gangplank is developing a remarkable new co-working environment where you can bounce ideas off your peers, get feedback on your work, or just buckle down and get your client projects finished.
In order to support innovation in the Phoenix web community, Gangplank will also establish a venture incubator that will provide business support (technology, marketing, finances, resources, workspace, etc.) to fledgling web concepts.
