The session will offer a relaxed and creative environment for new and existing groups as well as individuals to meet and discuss ideas and exchange experience and challenges.
Each session will include:
- Incubator forums – informal networking opportunities to enable people to discuss and work up a new idea with drinks, snacks and finger food.
- Ideas labs – facilitated groups of those interested in a certain field to generate ideas for future working.
- On-the-spot surgeries – provided in partnership by the KCSC Organisational Development team and Portobello Business Centre (PBC), which will both have specialist advisors to hand.
