Join us on Thursday 1st August 2024 in Central London as we break down barriers to the creative industry and give traditional ‘mentoring’ a fun twist with B&B Studio.

B&B is a strategic brand design agency, that believes in braver design for a brighter tomorrow. Their wonderful team has volunteered their evening to speak with emerging creatives to answer your burning questions, provide some snappy portfolio feedback or just have a general chit-chat.

Event details

Location:
B&B HQ, Old Street, London

Time:
Arrival from 6pm, kick-off at 6.30pm, home time at 8.30pm

Date:
Thursday 1st August 2024

So what’s the twist?

Ever been speed dating? No? Neither have we…but the format still works! All mentees at this event will get the chance to speak to three different members of the wonderful B&B team, rotating every 15 mins. There will also be a 15 min break to regroup.

You can be emerging at any age, so there’s no age limit on this event. If you have less than two years industry experience, you can get involved!

Spaces are limited, so don’t hang about. Applications will close once we’re at full capacity.
