The Greenhouse - Cultivating creative business

Thursday 11th March 2010 - CIN Creative Coffee

Location : QUAD, The Market Place, Cathedral Quarter, Derby, DE1 3AS

CIN want to encourage more conversations between creatives in the city and county. Not just conversations, but the collaborations that they could lead to. It's been our experience over the years that knowing a lot of people is great, but knowing what their area of expertise is, in business terms, even better. That's why we've booked the QUAD Café Bar for two hours every other Thursday morning, at 10:00 until 12:00.

Of course, you'll be able to keep your seats should you want them past 12 - it would be great if the conversations went over two hours. There's free wireless available, and the coffee is gooooood. It doesn't cost anything to attend...just bring yourself and your ideas, and perhaps a business card or ten.

We have also started putting together a list of who attended and writing a short round-up of what was discussed. Just in case you make a contact and can't remember their details or you can't make it. When you come along please make sure you have your business cards or something with your contact details on...don't worry if you dont have anything I will have a pen handy!

See you there?
