The "Greater Milwaukee Multimedia Consortium" holds monthly, daytime meetups in the Brookfield area.
This group is for individuals, freelancers, and small business owners interested in sharing, learning, growing, and contributing to their community in the area graphic design, video, web development, copywriting, and more.
If you have a full time job that keeps you busy during the work day, perhaps you can ask your supervisor for an early lunch, or explain how participating in the GMMC can benefit your company.
I hope to see you at this meeting.
