Join us on Thursday 24th April in Bristol as we break down barriers to the creative industry and give traditional ‘mentoring’ a fun twist with strategic brand and packaging design agency, Outlaw.
Their wonderful team have 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:
Outlaw, Bristol, BS16JQ

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 Outlaw team, rotating every 10 minutes, with small breaks in between 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 of industry experience, you can get involved!
Spaces are limited, so don’t hang about. Applications will close on Thursday 3rd April 2025 at 11pm.
