I HATE NETWORKING is a surprisingly fun event designed to encourage creative people to get to know each other, while also acknowledging the horror that is networking, and sharing a few tips at the same time.
It combines the educational elements of learning how to network with an opportunity to practice the skills in a safe and friendly environment, all the while embracing the discomfort of the whole process and having a laugh.
Tips that will be shared include:
- Preparing in advance – get the basics right!
- Mastering the art of the introduction
- Overcoming shyness, awkwardness and the urge to run away
- Dealing with wankers and other difficult people
- Choosing the best networking events
- The all-important follow-up process!
Our creative industry specialist advisors will be on hand to help facilitate introductions and share their knowledge and experiences. WE KNOW YOU’LL HATE IT, but we guarantee a fun and interesting night regardless. Come for the drinks and food, stay to learn something and make some new connections!
The event is relaxed and informal, you can ask all the questions you’ve never been able to ask before, and participants will also be given ample opportunity to network and get to know each other.
Come along if you’re a creative practitioner, in businesses of any size. You could be a freelancer, a soloist or from larger organisations looking to expand your networks. You should also attend if you hate networking, but you know it’s a skill you need to learn.
Catering: Light nibbles will be provided and drinks will be at bar prices.
