Creative Media Networking Event – 13th November
Popped along to show my face at this – its only 5 minutes from where I live, and the offer of free coffee and biscuits was enough to get me out of the house. Turned out it was organised by those nice people from Creative Launchpad. When I got there Dave Roberts was in the middle of a presentation about the importance of getting out there and meeting people (yippee, that’s what I’m doing!) and establishing your networks. Dave is no longer with CLP, having moved up into the higher echelons of parent organisation Tribal, but they bring him back for these events as he’s a good motivational speaker. Also there was Paula Trew, a business advisor at CLP. Paula gave me good solid advice when I was preparing to go freelance, and loads of homework which I still haven’t completed.Turned out the event wasn’t really for me, more for newbies to the Creative Industries.
After-event music was provided by South Birmingham Community Radio. Station Manager Peni Whelan is looking for more volunteers, especially on the admin side, so if you’re interested give her a bell. Her number’s on the website.
