On Thursday 7 November we’ll be hosting a portfolio review for multidisciplinary creatives in London, together with members of different teams working across Google.

The event will be your opportunity to:

• Chat to a range of creatives at Google
• Get insight on what the team looks for in new talent
• Receive one-to-one advice and feedback on your work
• Meet inspiring fellow emerging creatives

The event itself will be fast-paced, offering the opportunity to show and discuss your work with reviewers from the Google team and your fellow creatives, to receive advice and feedback.

This portfolio review is open to creatives who are passionate about exploring technology in their work. You could be:

• A graphic designer experimenting with creative technology
• A motion designer using AI to push the boundaries of animation
• A copywriter bringing stories to life with innovative tools
• A creative using AI to imagine the future
• A filmmaker exploring new techniques in editing and cinematography
• A creative technologist blending art and code

And anything in between – no matter what your creative specialism, background or discipline – if you're interested in using technology in innovative ways, we want to hear from you!

The session is open to students, grads, those currently seeking work or working in the creative industry. To register, applicants must:

• Be aged 18 or over
• Have the right to work in the UK
• Have between 0 to 5 years’ professional experience in the creative industry
