What is CIN?

CIN is a networking organisation for creative professionals and businesses across Derbyshire and the East Midlands. Our philosophy is to encourage growth through collaboration and knowledge share, to encourage best practice and provide a voice for the industry - from visual and performing arts, graphic, software and product design, architecture, photography, video and audio production, PR and advertising and everything in between.

What does CIN do?

CIN enables creative professionals to network with each other. This is done with regular networking events and via the website, which has an online portfolio section where members can promote their work. The website is also a resource which provides information about business support, training and funding opportunities. A regular newsletter links businesses together, and publishes demand for freelance support and tender opportunities, as well as job vacancies from across the creative sector.

Individuals or businesses working within the creative industries can apply to join CIN, currently free of charge.
