- 4. REFRESH TEESSIDE Refresh Teesside follows the manifesto of other Refreshing Cities around the world. However, we have decided to open the events up to more than just designers and developers. We welcome all those who work in the creative industry including: photographers, marketing, printers, designers, developers etc. We made this decision in recognition of the importance of digital communities working closely together and increasing their understanding of other’s work, thus reaping the mutual benefits of collaboration.
- 5. REFRESH TEESSIDE In Teesside there are hundreds of creative businesses who can benefit from knowing each other. Many of the businesses are relatively small in size, focusing on a specific skill or service. Everyone can benefit from knowing other professionals in their own trades and networking with other professionals who offer skills and services they may require in the future.
- 6. WHY TEESSIDE Newcastle is a digital hub! They have support, networking events, meet ups and places to collaborate. Teesside talks about being a digital hub, but are we? We have the people, the knowledge and the skills but no method of meeting up and collaborating. Refresh Teesside is an idea by a web developer living and working in Teesside... It’s a platform to make Teesside a digital hub... It’s now up to you to help make it happen!
