What's this Jelly all about then?
Jelly is a casual coworking event, where freelancers, home workers and people running small businesses meet up in order to get out of their normal space, meet some new people and work together in a social environment. Jelly is a mixture of work, chat, comparing of ideas, passing on tips and help and maybe sometimes collaboration on the birth of a new project.
(Jelly differs from networking in that the aim is not to find new clients, pitch your business or to sell).

Jelly is community thing, and anyone can get involved - if there isn't one near you then you could always start your own !

Who's doing all this anyway ?
