Meet the experts: Building Your Brand #talkingheads 12th September 2017
The countdown to Headspace’s next Talking Heads is underway.
As a lunchtime event, Talking Heads provides the perfect opportunity for our members and guests to absorb some industry expertise, widen their network and collaborate.
Building Your Brand #talkingheads takes places on September 12th (12pm – 1:30pm). We will be joined by a panel who are all experts in their field.
But don`t worry, Talking Heads isn`t about being talked at. We urge you to get involved, ask questions and share your point of view. After all, this is your time and it needs to be useful and relevant to you.

The online platform allows artists to showcase and sell their work and gives buyers – whether individuals or businesses – the chance to unearth the superstars of tomorrow.
