NEXT SMC_MCR TUESDAY 3RD NOVEMBER - FUTUREEVERYTHING 2010 EVNTS LAUNCH at the newly reopened BAND ON THE WALL
The next SMC is a special event in partnership with FutureEverything EVNTS and North West Vision and Media.
It still contains the same Social Media Cafe goodness that we all know and love, with the usual Unconference Barcamp format sessions, but as it's coinciding with the FutureEverything 2010 EVNTS Launch there will be a talk by Hugh Garry, Producer for Radio 1 and 1extra.
If you want to run a session put your name down on the Session List 03NOV09 page
EVNTS is a network of North West creatives working in events, music and the arts. The EVNTS Meetings are a series of regular gatherings, open to everybody working in the creative industries and beyond, to come together to network, collaborate and share.
During the festival, EVNTS presents a programme of independently run music and art events across the city, showcasing new and groundbreaking talent. It gives the opportunity for more people to participate in the festival, and enables artists to get their work seen and heard, plus a limited number are awarded funding assessed by a jury of industry experts.
