Networking in action!

Creative Barnsley held a fantastic networking evening at the new Digital Media Centre last night. The exciting new building was unveiled to around 60 guests, and the evening included tours of the site, excellent speakers and a great opportunity for all members of the creative sector to meet each other and make new contacts.

Guests were able to enjoy impressive views and a lovely sunset from the 5th floor conference room, while listening to Cathy Doggett, head of the University Centre and Keith Evans, CIDA before getting down to the serious business of networking!

Creative Barnsley revealed its plans for more networking opportunities on a regular basis including sector specific networking events, plus we were able to give an update on progress with the studios and gallery space at Elsecar Heritage Centre which are due to open in the early Autumn.

All in it was a wonderful evening - guests commented that it was a very enjoyable evening in a great venue and a useful chance to meet others involved in creativity.
