SUMMARY:SUNSHINE COAST: I Hate Networking
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by CREATIVE PLUS BUSINESS as part of Sunshine Coast Council’s MadeSC Professional Development Program. \n\n\n\nNetworking is a necessity in the creative industries\, but many practitioners consider it to be the stuff of nightmares.  \n\n\n\n‘I Hate Networking’ is an entertaining hybrid between traditional in-person workshop and social event designed to encourage creative people to get to know each other\, while acknowledging the horror\, and sharing a few tips at the same time. The first half is dedicated to learning the most effective strategy for effective networking\, including preparation and follow up. The second half is a practical opportunity to rehearse some of these tips in a safe and friendly environment\, while embracing the discomfort of the whole process and having a laugh. \n\n\n\nBOOK NOW (via Humanitix)RSVPs for this in-person workshop are essential. Limited spaces available. \n\n\n\nThis program is suitable for artists\, creatives and aligned organisations or collectives including but not limited to – ceramics\, photography\, design\, dance\, performance\, music\, fashion\, film and screen\, gaming\, painters\, illustrators\, animation\, music\, writers\, publishers and many more. \n\n\n\nWho is presenting?Monica Davidson Monica Davidson is an award-winning expert on the creative industries\, who began her professional life as a freelance journalist\, performer\, and filmmaker. Monica has a Masters degree in Screen Arts and Business from AFTRS and was appointed as Australia’s first Creative Industries Business Advisor in 2013. In 2016 Monica founded the social enterprise Creative Plus Business\, an organisation dedicated to educating creatives about small business skills\, financial literacy and marketing. \n\n\n\nWhat’s Creative Plus Business?We’re a social enterprise dedicated to educating creative people and arts organisations about business skills. We help through sharing practical knowledge in a fun and irreverent way\, and everything we do is designed to help creatives to feel more confident and comfortable about the entrepreneurial aspects of their creative practice. We believe that a bit of naughtiness\, tempered with a kind heart and a big dose of professionalism\, is the key to helping creative people understand the boring basics of business. \n\n\n\nWhat is MadeSC?MadeSC is a creative and professional development program that supports independent artists\, creative businesses and arts organisations across the Sunshine Coast to develop\, create\, connect and present. The program is designed to strengthen professional practice and industry connections\, support new work and link participants with presentation and career development opportunities.  \n\n\n\nVENUE: Light Industry\, 2/11 Endeavour Drive\, Kunda Park QLD 4556 \n\n\n\nBOOK NOW (via Humanitix) \n\n\n\nFor more information or accessibility questions contact creativearts@sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au \n\n\n\nWhat’s Light Industry?The Light Industry Project is a manufacturing and creative industries collaboration being delivered by Feral Arts in the Kunda Park Industrial Precinct on the Sunshine Coast.
