Grow your network and connect with others in your industry, outside of the workplace.

As part of our Women in Industry Round Tables, we invite all Women working in the arts and the creative sector to join us for a virtual forum. 

We know that you are talented and passionate about what you do, but you are often going it alone, making, creating, delivering or performing as well as being the marketeer, saleswoman and finance manager! Women in the creative sector need support from an understanding group of peers. Have important discussions while making valuable connections and learning from others. Hear from our expert panel and chat about your experiences and challenges in small groups. Whether you are at home or in the workshop, take the chance to share experiences with other Women, ask questions and get valuable support.

We will hear from Sarah, the founder of Tedberry Market. To date, they have proudly hosted four sell-out events, welcoming over 150 businesses and an impressive total of 12,000 guests. This remarkable achievement speaks volumes about the reach and impact of the Tedberry Market in Northern Ireland. Let's discuss the ups and downs of market selling and how to maximise your sales!

We will then hear from Maggie, Actor, Director and Writer. We will discuss how performers and artists can navigate the unique challenges of marketing their talents and turning their passion into a sustainable profession.
