Justin provided us with a list of easy ways to get started at a networking event.

1. Wear a name tag dang it

Big Dream Gathering is Coming

Daniel Shipton — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 19:45:18 +0000

We are so excited to be welcoming the Big Dream Gathering to Impromptu Studio. The Big Dream Gathering is put on by Mitch Matthews and his wife Melissa and their team. They know how hard it is to make your dream come true when know one believes in you. That’s why they started the Big Dream Gathering in order to provide a safe and fun atmosphere for people to share their dreams and take that first step toward making them a reality. Here at Impromptu Studio we are providing that same type of atmosphere and community for these dreamers and entrepreneurs to continue to realize their dreams. We couldn’t imagine a better match and we want to thank one of our coworkers Chris Punke for introducing us.

The Big Dream Gathering will be at Impromptu Studio on November 5th and 12th from 6-8 pm both nights.
