Pictures from the Big Christmas Party

It’s late February and Xmas 2010 seems a very long time ago … yes we know… it took a bit of time but we finally have the whole set of pictures from the event :-)

We have added here most of the photos taken on the night. But you can see the whole set from the photographers’ web site.

We would like to thank very much Kristi Dunlap and Andy Elliott from 361 Photography for their great contribution to the party by taking some amazing shots. The rest of the shots can be seen on this page.

Video Interview with Suzanne Oliver, HLBBShaw

If you want to hear Suzanne’s views and stories, please look at the video interview:

Xmas 2010: another great success for Creating Cambridge

The weather mildly tried to discourage people to join us: luckily it did not succeed :-)

Despite the cold and snow  a total of 109 people attended the BIG Christmas Party 2010 on Thursday 16 December, a great result for us all.

A mix of entrepreneurs, creative people,  employees of local tech companies and members of the universities (Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin) were represented at this unique networking event.   We succeeded in attracting people from different groups, experiences and backgrounds to facilitate a networking event where people had the opportunity of catching up with old friends as well as meeting new people from this diverse community.

We would like to thank our main sponsor HLBBShaw and all individuals that spent time and resources to help and contribute to the success of this event. And also a big thanks to “The Juliets” for providing fabulous music on the night.

Please have a look at some of the first pictures available, others will be posted soon.
