The Brief
MeetingPOT is Australia's first social network that integrates professionals networking. Over 100 fashion entrepreneurs are expected to attend MeetingPOT's first event.
Yummi Ong-Ly is the founder of this network. This time last year, Yummi was earning over $100 000 in a job she hated and she has now left her job to help and support young emerging creatives to pursue dreams, passions giving them a "speed dating" experience one-on-one for them to meet professionals in their related fields opening opportunities and doors for collaborations, internships,etc. Also keynote speakers will be there to inform the young talents.
Personally I think this is a great concept and a platform that will open doors to fulfill dreams.
The first event will be on 31st of March 2010 in Sydney. This is one event of many to come which will hope to reach nation wide.
