The talks will be followed by a round table networking session where you can ask questions in smaller, informal groups with our panel of speakers from
agencies, production companies, start-ups and freelance backgrounds. Talk to Gem Barton over a coffee at her session. Visit the pop up stands, available all day, to get your headshot photo, take part in an ‘Effectively You’ session and other support available to network and signpost you to the world after graduation.Treat it as a takeaway cheat sheet for your professional beginnings. Learn, take part and come and join us for a slice of pizza at a gathering for creatives.
The Careers Team will be in attendance to support with any career related questions that you
may have throughout the session.
