Cornwall Social Media Café and Tremough Innovation Centre will be hosting a series of inspirational talks around the subject of creativity at an event set to take place at the centre on Tuesday 9th July.
Taking place on the rooftop terrace, guests will be invited to hear talks from leading creatives drawn from the areas of business, advertising, product design and art.
The keynote talk will be delivered by Simon Minchin, a professional writer, marketer and gardener who has his name on over 50 international Creative Awards for advertising and design.
Simon spent 10 years of his career managing the creativity of others as a Creative Group Head in London and Executive Creative Director of Saatchi & Saatchi in South Africa and McCann, Asia.
He will be supported by internationally renowned, abstract artist, Chris Billington, and Lloyd Pennington of Buff Design, a Cornwall based product design and development company.
Cornwall Social Media Café attracts those interested in or using social media, with attendees drawn from all walks of life, from art to science, business to charity, politics to education.
The event, which includes a barbecue and refreshments, is free to attend and will be the first to be held on the rooftop terrace (weather permitting).
Event organizer, Aren Grimshaw, said "Creativity drives innovation in all walks of life; however, it is an area that is often misunderstood and one that people have difficulty in understanding how to harness its potential
"We hope that this event will inspire people to become more creative and realize the benefits that a more creative approach can bring to them and their community." He continued.
The event runs from 6.30 – 8.30pm, anybody wishing to attend should register on the Cornwall Social Media Café group which can be found at http://www.meetup.com/cornwallsocialmediacafe or contact Aren Grimshaw on info@arengrimshaw.co.uk.
