Creative Class & Cocktails | A Unique Networking Series 2014

In January 2014 we started an experiment in networking with a purpose.
You want a place to congregate with other Creatives. Well this event series was created for you to learn from dynamic speakers, network with top professionals, and build relationships that matter to you.

The series came to an end in November 2014. You can see samples of the events below.
