Talent Fest 2021

What is this about?

Talent Fest is a week-long festival designed to ensure the growth of our region’s digital industry, by connecting businesses with the talent they need to thrive and providing a platform for them to better understand how they can maintain and build stronger, more inclusive workforces.
 

What has happened so far?

Now in its 4th consecutive year, Talent Fest consists of:

• A Portfolio Clinic, enabling agencies and freelancers to provide advice and guidance to creative talent looking to enter or grow in our sector.
• A Jobs Fair, helping businesses recruit and build their employer awareness.
• A Leadership Summit, bringing business leaders together to discuss, debate and understand the issues around accessing and growing the right talent.

In March 2020, when it became clear that running a physical festival would not be possible, we quickly pivoted to a virtual festival. We still delivered on our goals, reached new audiences and brought our community together at a time when support was needed more than ever. You can find a round-up of Talent Fest 2020 here.

What is planned?

Plans are already underway for Talent Fest 2021. If you would like to be involved, whether as a sponsor, supporter, speaker or contributor, we’d love to hear from you. We also have year-round events to support job seekers and make our sector more diverse and inclusive. Get in touch if you’d like to find out more about any of these.
