As part of our Portfolio July series, we’re opening the CLIP studio doors to host Portfolio Review sessions at our space in London! Apply now for the chance to get in-person feedback from a range of industry professionals.
Why attend?
Getting feedback on your work is one of the most valuable things you can do when you’re just starting out. But let’s be honest – it’s not always easy to find! As part of our Portfolio July series we’re opening up the doors to CLIP HQ to make it all a bit easier.
So whether you’re still studying, building your first portfolio, or starting to take on client work, we’ll be bringing together a range of industry pros to look over your work and give you their honest feedback and advice.
When and where will it be happening?
When?
Wednesday 29 July 2026. We’re offering two review sessions – morning and afternoon – followed by open networking in the evening. Each session will have a different group of industry professionals and emerging creatives.
☀️ Morning session: 9.45am to 1.15pm
🏙️ Afternoon session: 2.30pm to 6pm
🤝 Networking: 6pm to 8pm
🚨 Please note: You can only attend one review session, but you can let us know which you prefer in the application form. Spaces are limited for this event, so applying doesn’t guarantee a place.
Where?
The Creative Lives in Progress studio in Old Street, London. The space is located on the 3rd floor. You can let us know about any access requirements in the application form, but for any additional questions please email us at [email protected].
How will it work?
During the event you will be placed in small groups made up of three emerging creatives and one industry reviewer, to show and discuss work, as well as get advice and feedback. This will then rotate, so you’ll meet several reviewers throughout your session.
Plus, the event will end with open networking where you’ll have a chance to connect with other early-career creatives!
⏰ Be quick as applications close at 11.59pm on 12 July 2026!
Who will be there?
We will be joined by a range of reviewers, including creatives from our Company Partners – check them out below. Stay tuned as we’ll be announcing our full line-up soon.
