Thursday 28th November 2024

As part of Creative Lives in Progress' partnership with Affinity we’re bringing you a jam-packed IRL Networking event full of workshops, speed networking and more. Register now for the chance to join us, network with emerging creatives, industry professionals and get stuck into a range of creative activities.

Networking is a term that can make many of us shudder: bad jokes, name badges, forced or awkward conversation. But it doesn’t have to be this way...

Over the next year we’re excited to be partnering with Affinity (part of Canva) to bring you a series of IRL networking events! Hosted at Canva’s offices in London, you can expect:

- Top tips on networking and making connections
- The chance to meet both emerging creatives and industry professionals
- Creative activities to get involved in, using Canva and Affinity tools
- An opportunity to ask creative career-related questions


What’s happening on the night?

There’s lots of ways to get involved on the night! Here’s what we have in store...

🎤 Workshop: How to make your network, work!
If you’re new to networking, fear not. In this interactive workshop, we’ll share some top tips on networking, including how (and where) you can reach out to new contacts.


💬 Speed networking sessions
After a short ice-breaker exercise, you’ll have the chance to chat 1-1 with at least three creative industry professionals in our structured, speed networking sessions.


🎨 Inspiration station: Design your own typographic poster (all night)
With some help from Affinity, get hands on with designing your own typographic poster.


🔖 Design your own business card (all night)
Reimagine the traditional business card, and add your own unique creative flair to express your interests, skills and more.


🤩 Plus!
You won’t be leaving empty-handed... all attendees will get a free universal license for Affinity, a free virtual onboarding session, plus lots of other goodies on the night.

How To Apply

Registration

You must be at least 18 to attend. This event will take place in person at the Canva in London. While we welcome interest from those who are based elsewhere in the UK, we are unfortunately unable to cover any travel costs.

Please note: places are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. All attendees must pay a £5 deposit. This is to confirm your attendance and will be fully refunded after the event.
