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.

3

Come and Grow Incrementally in Your Career Journey

You can attend our events once and receive valuable insights, but you can grow incrementally and tremendously by regularly attending our events as you improve your portfolio – receive more and more feedback and connect with quality people.
