Creative Point returned to C4DI last week for its first Hull-based event of 2020.

Trying out a slightly different format from its usual one keynote speaker, the event on Thursday night saw three guests interviewed by members of the Creative Point team in front of a small, intimate audience.

The meetup focused on community building and gave insight into how each speaker had built and used communities to grow their brand and spread important messages.

Since then 1,140 people have gathered together to donate what they can to make a difference.
