Event | Starting the Conversation
Need to network or pitch a project? This Wednesday, April 4 workshop will show you how to break the ice.
If you work in an arts discipline that requires networking and pitching, this event is for you!
Starting the Conversation is an informative and at times interactive workshop that will explore ways to break the ice before making a pitch to people you have never met, or when connecting with new people in social situations. Learn practical techniques for opening that important conversation with the people who can move you and your work to the next level, courtesy of 25-year entertainment industry veteran Jim Fyfe.
