Hi Friend,
Welcome to the Soapbox Newsletter. Whether you’ve been to Soapbox or you signed up because you’re interested in our future events, it’s great to have you!
Our next gathering is on June 27th at Sierra Metro (one week today!) where you can come and meet like minded folk who freelance or are employed in culture, creative, tech & digital for a morning of blethering and sharing news and opportunities over a cuppa. Soapbox events are free, and you are invited to pop along any time between 8am and 10am. Whether you stay for 10 minutes or the full 2 hour duration is totally up to you!
We’d love to see you there!
In this edition of the Soapbox newsletter you’ll find links to some great events happening around the city and in our community, a good dose of inspiration and some helpful links! But first, here’s some bloody lovely things people have said about Soapbox:
