Event outline

You can’t force creativity, so creating an environment to inspire you and your colleagues on a daily basis is something that shouldn’t be under estimated nor should it break the bank.

Design Network North’s latest ‘Rise & Design’ meeting isn’t just about the thinking behind how other people have created or changed current workspaces but it aims to leave you with simple and practical tips on how you can make your workspace more creative quickly and easily.

The speakers include:

• ‘Streets, crossroads and laybys’
  Tim Bailey, Architect - xsite architecture LLP

• Creativity at work
  Paul Glaister - Workpattern and Ami Brabbins - Forward thinking

You will also be more than welcome to get involved in a ‘Question and Answer’ session with the speakers. As part of this meeting, there will be an opportunity for you to discuss ideas or issues with other companies about how it could make a difference to your business as well as a brief insight into Design Network North’s activities.

After the meeting, please stay around for tea and coffee to discuss any requirements or issues you may have with other Design Network North members and Design Network North team.

Please contact Becky Strong if you have any queries on 0191 516 4400 or at enquiries@designnetworknorth.org
