SUMMARY:Meet and Mingle Online: BookMachine & Oxford Publishing Society
DESCRIPTION:We’re once again bringing together two publishing communities for a unique online mixer event!\nJoin us on Thursday 28th April from 6-7pm BST for your chance to meet\, mingle and chat online! \nWe’re inviting members of BookMachine and Oxford Publishing Society (OPuS) to come together on virtual networking platform\, Wonder\, for a super sociable and chatty cameras-on mixer event. As well as the chance to bump into brand new people across the publishing landscape\, and catch up with familiar faces from each community\, we’ll be providing conversation starters to keep things flowing. \nThis is a FREE event for members of BookMachine and OPuS. \n  \nAbout OPuS\nOPuS (Oxford Publishing Society) was founded in 1997 to bring together the whole publishing community in the Oxford area. They aim to provide a forum to inform\, educate and provide networking opportunities for the full spectrum of publishing professionals in Oxfordshire. They organise around 6 events a year on a wide variety of publishing topics. Recent events include ‘Independent Publishers: Nice Niche or Vital Necessity?’\, ‘Open Access Books: Unfinished Business’\, and ‘Short Stories: Big Impact’. They also host an annual author event. Past speakers include Mark Haddon\, Sarah Franklin\, and Michael Frayn. Check out their Events page for information on upcoming and past events. You can also get in touch at oxfordpublishingsociety@gmail.com. \n  \n\nAccessing the mixer\nAn RSVP is required\, so please drop your name and details to us by signing up above. We will share the private Wonder link to join the session via email to everyone on the attendee list ahead of the event. \nPlease contact Aimee on aimee@bookmachine.co.uk if you are having difficulties receiving the link or accessing the session. \n  \nAbout Wonder\nWonder allows you to ‘move’ around the virtual room to meet different people and take part in lots of conversations – just as you might at an in-person event or conference. Guests move their avatars around with their mouse\, joining a conversation by moving closer\, and leaving it by moving away. Simple as that! \nWonder is not available on mobile devices or tablets just yet\, so please join the session using your desktop or laptop internet browsers. Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers are supported. \nTo find out more about how to use Wonder\, please check out Wonder’s FAQs here. \n  \nWhy should you join us?\n\nCatch up with friendly faces – Reconnect with publishing people. Whether you’re craving real-life connections\, it’s been a while since you last attended an event or you’re working remotely or solo within the industry.\nMeet new people – Virtually ‘bump into’ interesting professionals who you might not have met otherwise.\nDip into different areas of publishing – Learn how people across various departments\, publishers and nations are currently working and what is driving them day-to-day\nDiscuss big industry topics\, or leave work behind – If you want to talk big industry news\, there’s space for those conversations. However\, if you want to leave business at the door and make human connections\, you can join us for that too.
