Having worked in large digital agencies in Sheffield I know how important collaboration is in our industry. Informal events that bring creative ideas together is what makes a community of similar businesses great. Since setting up Magnifica 2 years ago I feel this is something that's missing here in Chesterfield.
Maybe there is something already, if so please let me know when and where as I'd love to attend.
If not I'd be interested in creating a Digital Industries meet-up in Chesterfield where businesses and freelancers from the digital sector can share experiences and promote their capabilities.
Some of the things I think we could discussed are:
- How can Chesterfield grow its digital sector and promote itself better?
- How do you recruit good technical staff in Chesterfield?
- How does Chesterfield's digital sector compare to other local towns and cities?
- Are there any tech meet-ups or networking events in Chesterfield that you already attend?
- How can we collaborate on ideas and projects?
Is this something that anyone is interested in, if so it would be good to meet for a drink to discuss this.
Please post in the comments below if this is something you or your company would like to get involved in and we'll keep you posted.
