This event is for those of you who want to create content and/or businesses but find it hard to do it yourself.
This event is set for July 27 at Monday & Co., 409 John Wesley Dobbs Avenue NE #Ste B Atlanta, GA 30312.
Atlanta networking event: The Power Of Community
This is for those of you who feel alone as creatives and need collaborators to help your projects come to life.
We’re going to pair you up and help you find your creative collaborators… for instance, if you’re a fashion blogger we might connect you with another fashion blogger who can take your pictures.
If you’re a photographer who needs a variety of photos for your portfolio we might connect you with a chef who needs food photography.
During this event we’re going to help you find an accountability partner who can also help you take photos for Instagram, create videos for Youtube, or maybe someone you can build a business with in the future. In exchange you have to be willing to help your collaborator with those things as well.
We know it’s expensive to hire photographers and/or videographers every time you want to create content, especially when you are just beginning or haven’t started making money yet so we want to make it easy for you while also building a solid community in Atlanta.
Join Brown Girl Bloggers & The Hue Collective for an afternoon of…
– networking
– a panel discussion on business partnerships
– games and ice breakers
– food, drinks, and more
It’s time to meet local creatives and build your tribe.
This event is open to both men and women.
Spaces are limited and we’ll be making connections between attendees before and after the event so don’t wait reserve your spot!
