October Coffee with Creatives

Where Connection, Conversation, Caffeine, and Creatives come together.

WHO: AAF Central Minnesota Members Only. All of our membership levels – Student, Freelance, Professional, and Corporate – qualify for Coffee with Creatives.

WHAT: Exclusive morning meetups with like-minded individuals included with your AAFCM membership. We will conduct this monthly gathering via an open conversation and round-table style discussion. Each month a topic will be selected, and we will meet and converse on a topic relevant to the creative industry.

WHEN: Tuesday October, 26th from 7:30 am to 9 am.

• 7:30 am to 8 am: networking
• 8 am to 9 am will be round table time / open discussion

WHERE: Apiary Coworking (Downtown St. Cloud)

WHY: Our Board felt there isn’t the right professional networking opportunities explicitly dedicated to the large group of creatives in Central Minnesota. We wanted to bring together individuals who are interested in discussing the topics, trends, and challenges relevant to the creative industry. Secondly, we wanted to create an exclusive membership perk that provided value in a professional way – but a fun one, too!

Ultimately, we saw the need for a time and space where creatives – however you define yourself: writer, designer, account executive, developer – can meet and share their triumphs and tribulations with a group who, let’s face it, just gets it. Everyone who attends must be a current member of AAFCM OR a guest of an AAFCM Member. *
