Networking for Creatives – Speed dating style

Who would you like to meet? We’ve invit­ed cura­tors, cul­tur­al lead­ers, pho­tog­ra­phers and more to meet you.

Meeting new people to help you with the next step of your career can be tricky - we’ve done the hard work for you and gathered a room full of experts that you really should meet. From photographers and suppliers to funders, gallerists to business advice there’s somebody in the room for you to meet.
What does ‘speed dating style’ mean?

We have carefully matched the number of experts with the number of spaces available, so every five-minutes you’ll get to talk to a new expert. You’ll speak to each person and find out how they can help you with your professional practice. And if five minutes isn’t enough you can swap business cards and continue the conversation with your new, wider, network at a later date.
