The Survive & Thrive 2010 Expo is an important opportunity for creative people to engage with enabling organisations such as yours that are the motivators and backbone of Auckland’s creative sector infrastructure. Survive & Thrive 2010 is a significant networking event in the creative sector for entrepreneurial artists, producers & organisations working in the Auckland region. The Expo, starting at 10.30am, will provide promotion and networking opportunities for all participants.
With Ray Avery [New Zea lander of the Year] as the keynote speaker as well as a rotating programme of eight workshops and speed-networking [the business version of speed dating], the day will be inspiring, insightful and information packed. There will also be 40 leading arts organisations in the expo who are there to help you survive and thrive.
