Womens Discussion Night

Discussion Night

You are invited to a very unique event : Join us in a small, intimate and private women’s discussion night. We have invited some of the most experienced and hard-working female producers, freelancers, and artists to come together. The aim of the night is to bring together senior colleagues from the Animation, Motion design & VFX disciplines for an open and friendly chat over a glass of wine or beer, so we can network and learn from one another.

Why have a discussion night ?

We believe that women face unique challenges in their careers and that discussing such challenges and advising each other on the techniques and strategies to meet those challenges can be very beneficial to achieving their ambitions and goals in the creative industry.
