Planning. There is nothing wrong with star+ng small, as long as you have a clear idea of what you want to achieve. MB

If you have a great idea that you really want to do but aren’t sure where to start, don’t be afraid to ask for help. MB

The devil is in the detail ~ The angels are in the planning… KD

Clarity precedes confidence in all events organisa+on KD

@Crea+veBeds @MazLutonAid @kerrieDuggan1

Funding. Know your audience and needs KD

Know who to go to for help KD

Make sure you read everything about the funding you are applying for so you don’t miss anything on the applica+on. MB

Be absolutely clear about what you are aiming to achieve and what the money is for. If you aren’t sure, you won’t get the funding. MB


Marke+ng. Make sure you use everything at your disposal, don’t rely on just one marke+ng method because it seems easy. MB

Word of mouth spreads fast. Talk to people at every opportunity. MB

Message, marke+ng, money KD

Collaborators, renegades and affiliates KD


A^er the break their will be a chance to Q&A, to shout-‐out about your latest work, and to chat informally.

Refreshments.

Q&A with Kerrie and Mariana.

Thank you.
