In a fun and facilitated end-of-year event, creative businesses and arts professionals from every sector will come together to enjoy a meaningful meetup that combines networking opportunities with skills development. Creatives will learn some light-hearted tips from a networking expert, followed by the chance to explore facilitated conversations with a few drinks and nibbles.
