Why Attend Our Events?
1
Provide & Receive Brutally Honest Feedback Anonymously
They say honesty is the best policy, but brutally honest feedback is hard to come by in everyday life because people fear hurting other’s feelings. By creating a safe and anonymous environment, participants can provide and receive 100% honest feedback with zero pressure.
2
Provide & Receive Redesign Suggestions On the Spot
Learn by doing – feedback is not enough because words are abstract. Let’s see how others would redesign your portfolios (and you do the same for them). Again, anonymously. Our live speed redesign rounds will help you take your portfolio to the next level by showing you how immediately.
