Design festival notes

CEDI Networking event

Anchoring events,

At the start there is the centre organisation itself setting events and setting the bar for others

This could apply to my app as there could be a weekly challenge where a prompt is given, and the communities can exchange ideas or create something around the topic and how they perceive it. This could both help create discussions and propose topics that themselves or other creatives may be inspired to create something around. Some examples of project ideas for the prompt would be given by the app, and potentially the example could include an existing work or creative to show that application of the title.

Partner and external pre-established groups becoming involved and promoting their activities and events through the centre organisation partnership.

This could be events from organisations that sponsor to appear in a 'curated' area of the app, from organisers that would be partnered with the app and have a featured space to inspire and get other creatives involved.

Lastly, would be Students and individual creatives that could organise smaller events,

For students these could be: one off exhibitions or performances, Degree shows/showcases, university society events around creative industries.

This could also include smaller organisations and clubs in the community, to engage with art talks, activities, and more community centric events that are small scale but reoccurring e.g. cafe talks.

She also mentioned there needs to be a balance between corporate and creative, so the identity and language used needs to be relevant to the audience.

Speak in the language of who you are talking to
