The Creative Business Club offers knowledge through networking and the perfect opportunity to get together with other creative professionals. Each event features lively panel discussions with leading experts followed by networking and drinks. Has your business outgrown your home, or are you renting a space that just isn’t working for you? The next Creative Business Club – Making Workspace Work – explores how to find a space that will help your business grow. Having a professional address and a meeting room for clients are just some of the benefits, but the right space can also help you build a profitable referral network and inspire creativity. The expert panel including Cani Ash - Founding Partner Ash Sakula Architects, John Burton - Director of the Creative Space Agency and Paul Allen, journalist and author of the Ethical Business Book will discuss what to consider when selecting a workspace, where to look and how your physical environment can affect your profile, productivity and creativity. Join us afterwards for drinks and a chance to chat to exhibitors who will be on hand to provide expert advice on finding the right creative space for you. Making Workspace Work is supported by the Creative Space Agency.
