"The Creative Industries Networking Group (CING) was formed in 2008 with a mission to support and facilitate the success of its creative industries members. We do this by engaging and representing the sector; providing development, training and promotion; and by securing commercial opportunities."- The Creative Industries Website.
"The core of CING is its monthly networking events, held on the first Monday of every month. This is a chance to meet peers from across the sector, and to listen to inspirational speakers from the creative and business communities, as well as to find out about complementary support and development services that are available."- The Creative Industries Website.
This is a great organisation who don't just focus on one medium such as photography, they in fact have members practicing in every aspect of the creative world, from graphic designers to music and television. This is great way to get a foot in the door with many different industries and business, I have just gone through the registering and joining process and are now a member of this great community. I am glad that I have found this organisation and I will be informing my peers about it. I searched the website and found a platform where I can find other creatives in and around a given postcode, I chose manchester and began searching. It comes up with lots of photographers and I will no doubt start to converse with some of those to see when the next meet up is.
This is a great way to start networking with other professionals and this definitely starts to address one of my PDP points of developing my networking skills.
"The majority of our members are therefore those working in creative fields such as design, photography, film, animation, music, fashion, art, crafts, digital, advertising, marketing, architecture, and television."- The Creative Industries Website.
