CreativeMornings/AKL 4th Birthday Party!
Thursday 22 October, 6pm-10pm
LOT23

What were you doing in the spring of 2011?

It’s hard to believe it’s been so long, but way back in October 2011 Auckland launched it’s own CreativeMornings chapter, becoming the 9th city in the world to join the fast growing global community. Now, four years later we’re super proud to be a part of a global conversation that shines a light on the talented creative individuals that can be found in our city.

With the global theme for October, SHOCK, aligning tidily with our celebration, we thought it’d be a great opportunity to turn our normal set up on it’s head, and shock everyone by putting on a evening party, full to the brim of surprises and fun.

WHAT’S HAPPENING?
For our party we have a few surprises up our sleeve. As per usual we’ll be listening to the experiences of a local creative, but this time we’ll be kicking off proceedings in the evening!

Alongside our guest speaker, expect raucous live music, creative engagements, tasty treats thanks to our wonderful partners and a fabulous exhibition, inspired by the wise words of our past speakers and brought to life by a hand picked collection of local artists and designers.

WHO’S SPEAKING?
Our mystery speaker is perhaps best known for his tenure as the most handsome man on Downton Abbey, but sadly since his untimely death, he has let himself go somewhat and is the Entertainment Manager at Ponsonby’s black sheep venue The Golden Dawn.

His career (a word he’s reluctant to use to describe whatever it is he’s doing) has spanned everything from writing the famous 95bFM ads, to touring bands from overseas, to darker corners like Georgie Pie and Christian television. This SHOCKtober, our speaker has promised to spill the beans on the highs and lows of being a high-functioning high school drop out!

WHEN IS IT?
Join us for drinks, nibbles, hangs and mysterious fun times from 6pm on Thursday 22nd October, with our speaker kicking off at 8pm, followed by some LOUD MUSIC and more fun.

We look forward to celebrating our fourth year of being a thing in Auckland with you! Registrations open at 11am Monday 19 October.
