creative coast, this wednesday, 6pm at our regular haunt, the merchant on eastborough is ‘bingo networking’. as well as a friendly and fun networking event (no power suits or crushing handshakes here) we’ve also added ‘top ten tips for networking newbies’ to the evening. so if the idea of entering a room full of people with whom you’re expected to talk shop and promote what you do fills you with fear - then have no worries, you’ll be amongst friends this wednesday.

want to know a little secret? although people have observed that i’m a good networker, the idea of ‘networking’ fills me with fear too. i just wasn’t born to do that stuff. for that reason alone i thought i ought offer a couple of my top tips on how to sidestep the fear and make it work for you. also offering tips on the evening will be nick from emily edwards creative, and darrell and helen from IT & digital/creative york (who actually get paid to network…). i’ll try and remember to jot them all down and publish them on here later in the week.

everybody’s welcome so come on down. there’s even a prize of a bottle of bubbly…
