Wednesday, March 23rd BKTK Meetup @Bitmap: Staying Focused as a Business

Saturday, 12 March 2011 01:29


It seems hard to believe, but we're firmly into March and that means it's time to schedule our next Meetup. Big thanks to everyone who came out to the last Meetup to discuss Unity 3D and the ins and outs of freelance project management as a career path. I can truly say we had a fascinating discussion and am looking forward to hearing more from all of you in the BKTK community.

Our next Meetup will be on Wednesday, 3/23 and we'll get started at 7pm. We'll begin with some chitchat and networking (along with refreshments) and then we'll have Dailey Crafton present the evening's discussion topic.

Dailey is the Principal and Creative Director at livefrombrooklyn, a Brooklyn-based (obviously) design firm. What he'd like to discuss with the group is how to find and maintain the core focus of your business. Or, to put it more broadly, "how do we come up with a good paradigm by which we determine which ideas to pursue and bring to fruition and which ideas, though they may be great ideas, do we let die or at least lie dormant will we actually get something done; to combat the habit of starting in on a bunch of good ideas, but none of them having anything to do with one another, and all of them ending up half-baked?"

This should be a resonant question for almost all of us in our professional and creative lives, so I think it should be a good discussion.

Bitmap Creative Labs has again been kind enough to offer up their space for the March Meetup.

The details:
Bitmap Creative Labs
300 Graham Ave 1st Floor

Let us know if you're coming so that we can buy the appropriate amount of snacks/beverages. Hope to see you for what promises to be a great Meetup!
