Can't argue with that. I shall get in touch nearer the time to sort that out. In the meantime, if you know of anyone who is looking for any branding, motion or web design work - companies large or small, corporate or edgy, don't hesitate to get in touch. We are putting our show reel and portfolio together at the moment. It will be ready in the next few weeks.

Cheers.

I was working in AD last yr for a few months so have a bit of understanding, but any other advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Only advice I can give is come along to our little networking/drinks meetings...

This is just an informal one, get to know everyone and what they do etc and putting forward some ideas for networking that will benefit some people's business...

There is a serious group as well that meets at 2am on a friday but you need to wear robes, bring a black cat, several chickens and be prepared to get your robes stained

Am sure we'll have another one in a few weeks time - it was great putting faces to the forum names.

There's something happening this Thursday evening as well in Abu Dhabi - you can get details on the abudhabi expats forum or PM me for details
