If we can, you can Unplugged events are launched!

We always said that this was all about building a virtual community, but there’s nothing quite like getting together with your colleagues to share ideas and experiences in person, face-to-face.

‘If We Can You Can’ is hitting the road and coming to a venue near you!

The Unplugged events are an un-missable opportunity for you to meet likeminded entrepreneurs from the IWCYC community in a relaxed and informal environment.

We have two fantastic speakers from the community who will share their entrepreneurial highs and lows with our guests, and there will be a Q&A and a chance to discuss common challenges and aspirations, followed by a delicious supper and time for you to mingle and chat.
Date: Wednesday, October 21st

Venue: The Sporting Lodge Inn, Middlesbrough

Time: 6.30pm - 7:00pm arrival
9.30pm event close

Our first Unplugged event is coming to the Tees Valley. Our speakers will be Mark Easby, Managing Director of Better Brand Agency and Claire Mitchell, of http://www.astonmitchell.com/.

Mark Easby, born and bred in the Tees Valley, started Better Brand Agency in September 2008 with two friends. Better specialises in brand, design, marketing and social media campaigns, already has more than 20 clients and recently scooped the Best Social Media Campaign at the North East Digital Awards.

Claire Mitchell left her job to set up and run her own marketing consultancy, ‘Claire Mitchell Consultancy’, which she has done for the past three years. As well as this, she also runs http://www.astonmitchell.com/, an online men's make-up retail business with her business partner Kate Jones, and counts Barack Obama’s personal make-up artist as one of her key suppliers.

Tickets are free to attend, but places are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment! We would also encourage you to bring along a friend and welcome them along to the If We Can, You Can community!

To book your place or for any more information about our Unplugged events, please email will@entrepreneursforum.net or call 0191 2267488, and let us know if you would like to bring along a friend or a colleague.

“If you’re thinking about starting a business yourself, I believe the most important thing to do is to seek the right support- business support, partners, colleagues, and making sure that your family and friends are right behind you. I can’t recommend this enough.” Mark Easby

“We love what we do, we enjoy our work, we have a great knowledge of the market and it’s felt effortless because we believe in what we do and we have fun.”
Claire Mitchell

As we live in this multi-media age, each event will also have its own PLUGGED section on the website – and we’ll use the blog and twitter to get the discussions started and help us to identify what you want to hear about and talk about.
