Portfolio Night, the world's largest simultaneous advertising portfolio review event, will take place in Ogilvy's Dublin offices on Thursday evening, May 26. Building on last year's event, the organisers are putting the plans in place for its biggest and best event to date in its nine year history. The event is designed to help students and aspiring young creatives around the world break into the advertising industry and to showcase the next generation of creative talent.
On May 26, Portfolio Night 9 will be held simultaneously in over 40 cities around the world, from Athens to Tunis, where the best of the present meets the best of the years to come, to celebrate creative talent and to guide emerging creatives as they begin their careers in the industry. In Dublin, Portfolio Night 9 will be hosted by the Ogilvy Group, in its offices located at 6 Ely Place, Dublin 2. The event is also strongly being supported by The Institute of Creative Advertising and Design (ICAD), who is reaching out to its members. In a setting similar to 'speed-dating,' each participant will receive three 15-minute portfolio review sessions with three of the country's most prominent Creative Directors, who will offer them advice on improving their portfolios.
The evening will also provide useful networking opportunities in break-out sessions organised on the night. Tickets are now available for the Dublin Portfolio Night 9 event.
