Gather Round Presents
Quarterly events, free food, vibes & prizes
We launched our very own event series back in 2024 to celebrate our 5th Birthday party. What set out to be just 5 free events for creatives is now a quarterly event, one not to be missed. With themes and speakers covering all creative disciplines, free food, vibes and prizes to be won every event it’s no wonder these events sell out rapidly as soon as they are announced.

The Marketing Meetup
Monthly events, various locations
Big-name speakers such as Pinterest and Google alongside marketing heroes lead their virtual and in-person events. Upcoming meetups are focused on the value of creativity, why communities are so much more than social media and making the most of peak sales periods.
MotherBoard
Statistics show that 50% of women leave the tech industry before the age of 35. MotherBoard is here to change that. With events such as The Motherhood Penalty and The Barriers of Female Reproductive Health in Creating Gender Equality – they bring uncomfortable topics to the forefront and tackle them head-on.
Bristol Creatives
Not strictly a meetup, but an online platform and community hub that connects and supports all manner of creatives by signposting, sharing resources, shouting about events and showcasing work.
