According to the Project Director, Filmmaker and Creative Industry Specialist Madu C Chikwendu, “Creative Management Workshop is a product of our research into the relationship between Money and the Creative Industry .We discovered that contrary to popular belief the sector has always had funding in one form or the other. The problem has been the management of the resources. This situation has made it impossible for Creatives and Financiers to speak a common language . This historic workshop will bridge that gap enable participants from all sides of the divide to deepen their knowledge and create more wealth”.
The statement signed by Mr. Dan Leke said the Creative Management Workshop will take place in October 2020 and is organized by Thud Worldwide Consultants Ltd. It will take place physically and virtually.
