Exciting new Unplugged event announced – Design Fusion, 20th January

Breaking Down Barriers. Creating Opportunities

Thursday, January 20th

6:30pm to 9:30pm

Northumbria University, City Campus East

‘If We Can You Can’ and Northumbria University School of Design have teamed up using the popular Unplugged event format to bring together the North East’s entrepreneurial designers.

The North East has a wealth of creative talent within the design community and this event will explore the idea that nurturing the intrinsic links between the numerous design disciplines will put design-based entrepreneurs in a strong position to capture opportunities both within and beyond the region.

Based on the Entrepreneurs’ Forum’s proven principle that entrepreneurs learn best from their peers, ‘If We Can You Can’ aims to create an environment in which perspectives and experiences are shared openly for the benefit and support of the community.

Joining us on stage at this great event will be key figures in the North East’s Design community including Mike Dowson from Design Network North as well as a panel of cross-discipline experts from the region, Joanna Feeley of Trend Bible, Darren Richardson of digital agency, Gardiner Richardson, award winning furniture designer Elliot Brook of Deadgood and Ian Jobling of Product Revolution Limited.

Our final speaker has also just been announced - taking to the stage will be Chris Bond, R & D Director of Hardy & Greys, lifting the lid on their world leading and innovative manufacturing products.

For your chance to get involved in what is guaranteed to be a great evening of design, discussion and debate please email Will@entrepreneursforum.net or call 0191 226 7488. Places are free, but there is a limit so please book early to ensure yourself a place.
