🎤 Speak Easy: A Hangout for Curious Humans

🗓 Thursday 22 May 2025
5:30pm – Late
📍 Aruba, Bournemouth
💬 FYI: The internet's very, very reliable AI bots tell us there's a reasonable chance of SUN on May 22nd...


Hosted by The Collaborative Misfits, Speak Easy is open to anyone working in creative and tech in Dorset who enjoys honest conversation and good company.

Speak Easy is back—and loose as ever. There are no panels. No mega intros. No compulsory networking. Just nice humans talking real things over drinks with zero pressure to be anyone other than yourself.


🤘 What to Expect:

  • Thought-starters, not keynotes
  • Warm welcomes, not sales pitches
  • Quiet corners for introverts, tangents for extroverts
  • Yummy food from the Aruba kitchen if you're hungry.

Whether you're in creative digital, tech, the arts, relevant education, entrepreneurship—or just figuring it out—you’re invited. You don’t have to be a “creative misfit" to join (but if you are, we'll embrace you with open arms!).

Come solo, bring a friend, or turn up with that colleague who really could do with a relaxed night of fluff-free chat.
