Our meetings are a mix of online events (free to attend) and face to face networking (where a small charge is usually applied to cover costs.)
We are a welcoming, informal networking group for senior executives, business owners, entrepreneurs, non-executive directors, interim managers, consultants, coaches and self-employed professionals. We keep up to date through our monthly speakers and exchange information, expertise and opportunities through our members’ broadcast system. We also have a number of Special Interest Groups where you can exchange information and discuss in small groups.
XTEND Monthly Meeting 14th May 2024 18.00 – 19.30 pm
Cartoons and Communication
Tuesday 14 May 2024, 6 – 7.30pm
Cartoons and Communication
In an event for all those interested in politics, satire and communication, professional cartoonist James Mellor (Private Eye, The Spectator, The Critic) talks through his career mocking the powerful and finding humour in the news.
The discussion features some of his more famous (and infamous) cartoons and he will attempt to draw some new material live – depending on the day’s events!
James will also explain how he uses methods and techniques from cartooning to help businesses, organisations and charities communicate their unique messages, hopefully providing inspiration for those wishing to reach out to clients in novel, effective and memorable ways.
