MS Teams meetings
While there’s nothing like face-to-face interaction, we’re having regular virtual meetings.
Photography and videography meetings
ACPME photographers and videographers have been meeting fortnightly on Wednesdays from 11:00–12:30. Stephen McCann has been chairing these discussions inviting guests from the BIPP and relevant suppliers – including some that have offered extended free trials of equipment.
If you’d like to be added to the MS Teams invitation, send Stephen an email Stephen.McCann@glasgow.ac.uk
Managers’ only meetings
Difficult times mean difficult decisions. There’s a time for open forums, that include all staff, and a time for peer-to-peer discussions under ‘Chatham House’ rules.
If you’d like to talk ‘returns to work’ and ‘management strategy’, Lorna Mckanna-Maulkin will be chairing MS Teams discussions. If you’d like an invitation, email Lorna l.mckanna-maulkin@brighton.ac.uk
Creatives’ meetings
Ideas are so often sparked over a coffee and tips arise from discussion. Martin Parker has offered to chair discussions for our design community.
