Digital Creative networking in Liverpool

jelly peopleIf business networking brings you out in a cold sweat then we have the perfect solution for you - Jelly Liverpool and its monthly Pop Up Office.

Jelly gives small businesses, homeworkers and freelancers the opportunity to get away from the office and mix with like minded people in the comfortable surronds of Leaf Cafe on Bold Street. It proivides coffee, tables and free wifi plus a great bunch of the people to work alongside.  

Started in 2008 Social Media Cafe became an institution. Meeting regularly on the first Tuesday of the month, it ran for over 5 years bringing an eclectic and sometimes bizarre selection of topics to discuss. From emoji madness and a requiem for Ceefax to more grounded subjects. Through #smc_mcr, Manchester kicked off its open data journey and became a stopping off place for people passing through, who had projects and passions to share. Most importantly #smc_mcr was a place where anyone with a passion could pitch up and propose a topic that they wanted to share with others - either to inform or to find help. Because of this #smc_mcr developed an unConference format that allowed multiple subjects to be discussed at the same time.

Although we've only picked up on the Robotics request here, they are looking for ambassadors across various fileds and various different schools across Cheshire.
