At the end of the day workshop members will have:
decided if a local creative industries cluster is viable
developed a shared set of projects/actions that they want to do.
agreed upon the next steps.

This will then be drafted into a report

Evening Option: It was also discussed that a venue be arranged for evening drinks after the workshop. This will provide opportunity for more discussion (if some of us get excited). It would also be good for those unable to attend full day to meet and catch up on what was missed. This also enables us to be strict about a 4pm end time enabling people to return to work and catch up before going to evening meeting.

Add this date to your diary (or enter a reminder on your phone) - 25 November @ Desert Kowledge 8.30am - 4pm with option to meet for drinks afterwards.
