As with all the sessions throughout the year, there is no charge but to access you need to register and you can do this by clicking here.

The agenda for our online meet and greet sessions is simple; to share experiences and advice with each other; to have conversations with our peers and creative sector colleagues. We encourage feedback on the sessions and would love to hear from you to info@mindingcreativeminds.ie .

“We look forward to saying hello at our first online meet up session of the new year on January 17th and to spending time with everyone once again.  Remember, our monthly meetup sessions are a safe space to ask for advice, to attend for the company or indeed just pop in if you wish to find out a little more about what we do at Minding Creative Minds (MCM). Whatever your reason for coming along, we will be delighted to see you.” – Dave Reid, Founder, Minding Creative Minds.

“As we prepare for our sector to finally reopen, it is even more important we stay connected with our peers and colleagues. Minding Creative Minds Monthly Online Meet and Greet Session facilitates this perfectly. By being present we can be an active support for each other, by getting involved we can help each other navigate the months ahead as our industry reopens and we can regain our work routines. Some have already had an opportunity to dip our toes into the work arena via test events and while we will all be thrilled to get back to steady work routines, this can bring its own challenges. Minding Creative Minds Meet and Greet Sessions will bring us together so we can continue to support each other and our industry beyond Covid restrictions. If you have not been able to visit already, consider coming by on September 20 th to say Hi.” Ailish Toohey, Communications Lead at Minding Creative Minds.

Kim O’ Callaghan (Minding Creative Minds Director, MCD Project Manager and Deputy Event Controller and EPIC working group) says “The MCM meet and greet sessions have been a great opportunity for members of the creative industry to connect, and share their current experiences in navigating their way through these challenging times for the Industry . This past 14 months has been a very surreal and challenging time for so many in the industry , but those who have attended the meet and greet session have found a very supportive, informative community with shared experiences and great tips and advice. The Breakout rooms within the overall sessions have been very successful in giving people the opportunity in smaller groups to share information, thoughts, ideas and support each other.”
