The space and services provider that fosters collaboration, WeWork, hosted an evening of engaging conversation and thought-provoking panel discussion – which over 50 Cambridge locals attended.
Taking place at Tamburlaine Hotel, the event - We, The Creators: Cambridge – was completely free to attend and offered Cambridge based entrepreneurs, creatives and the business community the opportunity to speak to like-minded individuals about their passions, experience and motivations, over cocktails, snacks and music
The evening centred around an exciting panel discussion, which featured Clare Sutcliffe MBE (Co-Founder of Code Club), Colin Miles (CEO of Somersault), Ali Dover (Professional Photographer and Blogger) and was compèred by Christine Kim (Director of Strategic Partnerships at Simprints).
We, the Creators: Cambridge is part of a Summer event series from WeWork in celebration of The Creator Awards – a global competition which furnishes individuals, start-ups and SMEs with the extra funding they need to take their ideas to the next stage.
The awards are available to ‘creators’ in three different categories - ‘Performing Arts’, ‘Nonprofit’ and ‘Business Ventures’ - with the intention of offering an opportunity to as many different people as possible. Entrants are invited to apply via a simple online form and finalists for each category will then be invited to pitch their projects and businesses at the UK’s Regional Finals in October.
Cambridge was chosen as a location for the event series due to the city’s thriving entrepreneurial and creative communities, demonstrated by the incredible creatives that were on the panel.
