The Speakers & Talks

Jessica Bong-Woon, Creative Director at Ragged Edge and Fia Townshend, Writer & Copy Director
Creative Codependence: Why writing and design need each other.

Paul Hewitt
Yeah, i’m an imposter – and what?
Imposter syndrome is chalked up as a negative thought system we need to overcome and eliminate in order to be successful in our creative careers, but what if we embraced our imposterishness as our most positive attribute and the driver of great creativity?
Creative director Paul Hewitt examines imposter syndrome through his own life events and offers a different perspective on why the best creatives are always imposters.

Snask, the internationally renowned rockstar design agency from Sweden comes to speak in glitter and design galore! They will give you insights in how to create eye popping design, how to break free from conventions, how to push your clients and a good dose of branding insights. All this wrapped in a “stay-pink” larger than life package for your pleasure only.
