Building on the success of Survive and Thrive in 2009, we invite you to display your products or services at Survive and Thrive 2010, a unique event in Auckland’s creative sector targeting entrepreneurial artists, producers & organisations.

There are many ways for you to benefit from exhibiting and/or selling products and services at Survive & Thrive Expo 2010. Where else can you get so much exposure to your target market for your organisation, service or business? Where else can you network face to face so effectively with so many people in one space?

Packed with opportunity for your organisation, the Survive & Thrive 2010 Expo means you can:

· Represent your organisation and / or services 'face to face' to your target market of entrepreneurial artists, producers and organisations

· Network with other key players who fuel and drive Auckland's arts infrastructure

· Reality check your current services, products, resources and strategies

· Expand your profile, influence and impact in Auckland's creative sector

· Display your branding, imagery and resources

· Sell, promote or distribute your information resources

· Promote your current and future programmes, workshops, development programmes and support opportunities

· Recruit new members

Survive & Thrive 2010 is a significant networking event in the creative sector for entrepreneurial artists, producers & organisations working in the Auckland region. The Expo, starting at 10.30am, will provide promotion and networking opportunities for all participants.

With Ray Avery [New Zealander of the Year] as our keynote speaker as well as a rotating programme of eight workshops and speed-networking [the business version of speed dating], the day will be inspiring, insightful and information packed.

Based on the success of Survive & Thrive last year, we anticipate that 200 - 300 entrepreneurial artists, producers & organisations will attend this unique event representing the diversity of the creative sector including moving image, music, visual arts, object arts, fashion design, performance, digital media . . .

Keen to participate? We hope so and we look forward to receiving your completed registration.
