What's your poison? A Cwoffee or a Tipple?
Well, if you're looking for either, and for it to be related to work, then there are two events running that may be of interest.
'Cwoffee' at Lantana, Charlotte Place (just off Charlotte Street in AdLand) runs alternate Fridays. It is a meeting of Planners and Researchers over an early morning, piping cup of coffee. It's a chance to meet informally with other like-minded people, chat about ideas on projects / initiatives; exchange blog IPs, Twitter IDs and business cards etc etc. Started by planner Will Humphrey, it has been running for a year or so and attendees can drop in at any time between 8am until 10am.
If early morning coffees don't suit, then an alternative event is happening during the evening. Aimed at mid-level and junior researchers (from all qualitative agencies), the aim is to share a drink (or more), but also to have a research focus on bettering qualitative thinking by sharing / discussing examples of 'good qualitative thinking' (e.g. from articles, papers or personal experience).
The first meeting is in Roxy Bar, 6:30pm-8pm in London Bridge on Monday 10th May. It will be a kick-off social event, whereby we get to know each other over a tipple and chat about what we want to get in detail from the following events. And that includes a name. Perhaps 'Tipple Tattle'...
So, drop me an email if you would like to come along to either at simonl@wardlemclean.co.uk (or just leave a comment below).
Would be pleased to see you.
