Many of us have heard the old phrase ‘it’s not what you know, it’s who you know,’ time and time again. And while it’s not entirely accurate – your skills and talents will absolutely help you get to where you want to go – it is true that connecting with the right people can be hugely valuable to your development. You are in the best position when you have both the skills to reach your goals and the connections to help you get there.
Networking can be a daunting task, and sometimes it’s difficult to know where to begin. Similarly, if you want to brush up on your industry knowledge or refresh your artistic toolkit, you might be wondering where to turn. To help you get started, we’ve pulled together some of the best events and webinars the industry has to offer below.
