Overview

Join us for a night where portfolios get swiped right (or left) by industry mentors! This isn't your typical networking event—it's speed dating for your design career.

We'll start with intimate 7-minute 1:1 sessions where mentors give you the feedback you've been craving. And while waiting for your turn, lurk around other feedback sessions to absorb wisdom by osmosis.

But the real fun begins when we throw caution to the wind with our panel of mentors reviewing portfolios in front of everyone. Therefore, come prepared to laugh, learn, and maybe hide under your chair when you recognize your own work on screen.

What to bring

• Your laptop to show your portfolio (digital format)
  
• A thick skin
  
• Your sense of humor
