    CWC member packs for the Big Hearted Business conference

    photo

    Clare Bowditch’s (sold out) Big Hearted Business conference is on this weekend, which CWC is proud to be sponsoring!

    As well as a superb door prize, here’s a little sneak peek at something every attendee will receive. The other week I sent out an open call to Full Members to provide some information about their services or products that might be of benefit to the creative entrepreneurs attending BHB. I carefully assembled each pack so attendees will have the details of and special offers from fellow creative designers, web developers, marketing professionals, and many other creative ladies whom they can then call on to help start their new ventures or help them on their journey in some way!

    I love being able to provide these kinds of opportunities to Full Members so they may promote themselves, and helping fellow creatives who are just starting to follow their creative business path is a bonus in this instance!

    So, who’s going this weekend?
