Open Coffee Bristol updates

It’s been a few weeks since the last fortnightly reminder email and quite a few developments have taken place.

We’re settling in well at the Boston Tea Party on Park St as our new ‘home’. We’re also trying out some ideas to keep Open Coffee Bristol vibrant and of value to local smaller & growth companies. Helping me in this are Nigel Legg and Stephen Maudsley.

The most tangible development the Skilswap sub-group on the LinkedIn OpenCoffee Bristol group. The concept is to provide a safe environment in which to seek advice and support. You can post needs, and a suggestions on your area of expertise, and then other OpenCoffee members can offer to help in return for some advice / support from you; in this way skills are swapped.

We’re also revisiting the idea of having invited speakers / presenters to talk about specific innovations that they’re working on or things that might of interest to the broad Open Coffee membership (129 on LinkedIn, visitors to this website, etc).

However, the consistant feedback from the surveys that I’ve run, is that people quite like the slightly informal format & engineered serendipity so we’ll try not to lose that in any future changes.

I look forward to seeing you again on Tues, 20 October from about 8.30 am in The Boston Tea Party on Park St and fortnightly from then.
