Survive and Thrive 2011

Posted Tuesday 14 Jun 2011

You're invited to display your products or services at Survive and Thrive 2011, a unique event happening on 14 July, and now in its third year, for Auckland's creative sector, targeting entrepreneurial artists, producers & organisations.

Based on the success of Survive & Thrive last year [over 300 attendees], it's anticipated that around 500 entrepreneurial artists, producers & organisations will attend this unique event representing the diversity of the creative sector including moving image, music, visual arts, object arts, fashion design, performance, digital media and others.

The Survive & Thrive 2011 Expo means you can:

* Represent your organisation and/or services 'face to face' to your target market of entrepreneurial artists, producers and organisations

* Network with other key players who fuel and drive Auckland's arts infrastructure

* Reality check your current services, products, resources and strategies

* Expand your profile, influence and impact in Auckland's creative sector

* Display your branding, imagery and resources

* Sell, promote or distribute your information resources

* Promote your current and future programmes, workshops, development programmes and support opportunities

* Recruit new members

With the funny, firm-but-fair MCing of Te Radar, insights from key people inside and outside our sector as well as a rotating programme of ten workshops, people to act as great sounding boards and speed-networking [the business version of speed dating], the day will be inspiring, insightful and information packed.
