WeWork inspires creativity and entrepreneurship at networking event

Collaborative workspace company, WeWork, hosted a free to attend event last week for ‘Creators’ in Cambridge, in celebration of ‘The Creator Awards’.

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.
