I Hate Networking – Workshop for creatives
Wednesday 13th March 2019 from 5:30pm at Grafton Regional Gallery
This subsidised workshop is brought to you by Arts Northern Rivers and the Grafton Regional Gallery. Targeted to creatives in the Clarence Valley, 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.
Networking is a vital skill if you work in the creative industries, but many practitioners also consider it to be the stuff of nightmares. Sweaty palmed wankers in suits all trying to out-do each other in the bragging department? NO THANK YOU!
I HATE NETWORKING is an event (lubricated with drinkies) that 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.
Cost is $10, BOOK NOW (NB: fees and charges may be included)
