Andy and I were chatting about hosting an event where we would bring together groups to speak about learnings on digital inclusivity, social enterprises, cool tech tools, and just a fun event. Could be a great opportunity to bring more of Oldham together and perhaps some friends from Manchester. Would require a bit of thought as to venue but could be really interesting.
Upon further chats with people - was thinking this would be something like:
Agenda
-thank you for coming
-thank you for support and gifting of 3D printed Christmas decorations
-what we’ve done over the past year (quantifiable outcomes, pictures)
-what we’ve learned and how that informs what we do going forward
-food, drinks and networking + some general geekery around
Attendees:
If we are looking to have this at the end of January, I reckon I’ll start a list (please do amend as I’m just guessing the parties involved!) to send out a save the date in the next week or two:

That’s a list of 30 people which sounds like a solid crew.
Logistics:
Date: January 23, 2025 18:00 - when needed!
Invites: Send out w/c November 11th
Venue - can we use Oldham Libraries or a Community Centre to support the space we need?
Food - are we ok to cater drinks and sandwiches ourselves?
Presentation/outomes - collation of photos and outcomes into a basic slide deck
Geekery - setting up several stations of just general insights for people to see what’s possible
Please do share any feedback/comments - I reckon the first urgency is really safe the date. Most of everything else can be sorted in January I reckon?
