Events
Focused networking across the built environment is the aim of our Open House Networking Sessions, whilst Focus Days and Social Meets are designed to endorse members' interests and include an element of CPD.
By working with our members and supporting partners we have created a sector relevant programme of events that stimulate, inspire and provide ideal conditions for doing business.
Open House Networking Sessions
These sessions are open to all in the sector, have a topical focus and include a delegates; list, name badge and refreshments. Reduced rates apply for members.
Open House - Thursday 24th November 2011
Foundation Bar, 5 Langley Street, Covent Garden, London WC2H 9JA
Design Minded is back and with a new and enthusiastic team at its helm. The ethos and focus of Design Minded remains; to enable opportunities by collaboration for professionals within the built environment through quality networking and educational events.
Due to an expanding family, Claire is stepping aside, so Debbie Neal, Amanda Kenton, Denise Lee, Mark Randall and Nick Wilks are the new organisational committee. We'd all like to thank Claire for her hard work and vision in setting up the group, and look forward to developing Design Minded in new directions whilst maintaining its strong philosophy.
Thursday November 24th is the next date for your diaries, for an evening event at the rather aptly named Foundation Bar in Covent Garden. Come along, reacquaint yourselves with the group, catch up with old friends and chat to the committee about the future of Design Minded. We'd love to hear your ideas for events and seminars. The opportunity to win a year's membership of Design Minded is also up for grabs.
It's a great opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals within the built environment, and of course have some fun! If you have any colleagues who you feel would benefit from Design Minded membership, this would be a great event to introduce them to the group.
