Music people invited to London speed networking event

The Black Music Congress is supporting a speed networking event taking place in London on 17 Nov which aims to link together creative people with community and voluntary associations, professionals, entrepreneurs and funders. The event, being organised by Brent-based BTWSC, will take place at Willesden Green Library Centre between 7-9pm a week on Friday. Creatives will be able to network with each other, promote their work, and get advice from professionals and organisations such as the Heritage Lottery Fund. Explaining his support for the event, BMC founder Kwaku told CMU: "At last February's congress, there was a lot of talk about networking and a need for a directory for better communications and to help grow careers and businesses. We're hoping this initiative is going to move things forward from talking, to the doing stage." For more information about the event email [email protected] or call 020 8450 5987.
