08BusinessConnect is holding an event on Tuesday 30th January 2007, to encourage businesses to work closely with local arts organisations. It will take place in The Crypt, Liverpool City Centr, speaker: Paul Smith, Director, Arts and Business North West

Culture and the arts can improve your bottom line and double your money. This event will show you how.

Partnerships with arts organisations can help raise your profile and brand reputation, as well as improve morale and raise your bottom-line.

Guests will also hear case studies from both the arts and businesses which have benefited from working in partnership.
