🎤 Tips and tricks
If you’re new to networking, fear not. We’ll share some top tips on how to make the most of your networking efforts – both during and after the online sessions.
💬 Small, intimate group networking sessions
You’ll join fellow regional emerging creatives in small groups and connect with a creative industry professional in structured networking sessions. Over 30 minutes, you’ll get the chance to introduce yourselves, share experiences and ask career-focused questions – both to your peers and the industry pro.
How to Apply
This event is open to UK emerging creatives based outside London, interested in building a career in graphic design and branding. No prior experience or portfolio is required.
While all emerging creatives are welcome to apply, we’re prioritising regional applicants to provide opportunities for those who might usually miss out on our London-based IRL events.
This includes:
- UK-based entry-level creatives, aged 18 and over (outside London)
- Students and recent graduates
- Those with 0 to 3 years’ professional creative experience
You’ll be connecting with creatives from our Company Partners who specialise in graphic design and branding, so this session will be especially relevant for those focusing on these areas. However, all emerging creatives are welcome to register their interest.
Please note: Due to high demand and limited capacity, spaces are allocated through a lottery system, and we will be prioritising applicants who are based outside of London for this online event.
Those invited to attend will receive an email at least a week before the event to confirm their place.
While we have publicised this opportunity, please note that: (i) the application and selection process is managed by the advertising company/organisation; and (ii) we rely on them to: provide accurate, up-to-date details about themselves and the opportunity; ensure that opportunities are ethical and paid fairly.
