MEET is a series of relaxed, informal get-togethers for people working in — or curious about — the creative and creative-tech economy.

Our Autumn season starts in Winchester. And it starts with a sneak preview.

Since we started, we have argued that the Central South is a creative region that often goes unrecognised. We've spent the past six months building the proof.

With the support of The RSA, The University of Southampton and the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre, we have been researching the region's creative economy. Many of our community have been kind enough to take part in the research we ran over the Summer.

The full research publishes later this Autumn.

So this MEET is a little different. We'll share a short, early look at what the research is showing, then open it up to the room.

Then the usual MEET, at the wonderful South Downs Social. Good company, relaxed conversation, and a drink or two. No pitches. No pressure.

So, if you are in the business of creativity and have an interest in our future creative economy, this one is for you.

Tickets are free but registration is essential.
