Suffolk Jelly @ UCS Incubator 7th Feb 2012

It’s time for the first Jelly Co-working event of 2012!
Our last Jelly event at EeHub had a great response with around 40 people attending to learn, work and find new business leads, partners and suppliers. This time the Jelly will be in the newly refitted Atrium at UCS in Ipswich which is a must-see space!

REGISTER YOUR INTENTION TO ATTEND HERE (This helps us to judge wifi capacity/ refreshments beforehand!)

What is a “Jelly”?

It’s a global movement to help freelancers, remote/home office workers and others work from a friendly communal space for a day. Think of it as a pop-up office. It’s open to all and you’ll meet other local home based workers, freelancers and creative types. Or perhaps you already work in an office but just fancy a change of scene. There’s more information about the movement at workatjelly.com.

Where is it happening?

We are really excited to be holding our first Jelly of 2012 at The Atrium which is part of UCS in Ipswich. It’s a lovely recently renovated building just off the waterfront in Ipswich. There are several car parks in and around the waterfront. The building is not the main new building on the waterfront but just across the road and across the car park from the main building you’ll find the Atrium.

Can I come?

Jellies are open to all. We provide the wifi, a desk, chair and great company, probably some lightning talks or soap box sessions as we call them. Just turn up with a laptop. You can just appear on the day but we’d prefer if you registered so we had an idea of numbers. We’ll take payment on the day which is £5 for half a day and £10 for the day.

What actually happens?

We’ll show you around and help get you set up. You can come and go as you please. There is no definitive time you must be there or leave. We’ll open the doors at 10.3am and will have a few soap box sessions throughout the day to help people mingle, learn, and network. These sessions will range from talking about social media to open data and hopefully lots more. Perhaps you have something to talk about with great enthusiasm for 5 minutes? Why not volunteer to do a soap box session? We hope to host more Jellies at different venues around Suffolk, so do come along, join in and find out what it’s all about.

Teas, Coffee and a variety of refreshments will be available from the Atrium cafe.
