Students Gain Industry Insights At Youngbloods’ Event

Students Gain Industry Insights At Youngbloods’ Event

Youngbloods QLD has delivered a second networking evening that targeted students and recent graduates, held at Ikon Communications in Brisbane last week. Attendees were invited to come armed with questions and interrogate the committee members in an open speed round format.

The event was designed to engage with industry hopefuls and provide a more intimate Q&A experience without the pressure that can be faced at larger panel events.

Harry McKeon, chairman, Youngbloods QLD, said, “We found that our first event was great to hear from some of Brisbane’s biggest industry names but we wanted to ensure students and recent graduates had their time to ask the questions that matter most to them.

“We were really happy with the engagement of all those who attended and saw it to be a mutually beneficial night for committee and event goers”.

Prizes from Emporium Hotels and Bellime Hair Studio were won via a lucky door prize while the $1,000 AdSchool Workshop was given away to one lucky student who correctly pieced together the secret message on the back of the committee’s business cards.

Industry Interrogation was supported by SevenTwenty and Ikon Communications. Youngbloods QLD will host their next event later this year.
