We’re all about real-world skills that last a lifetime. Think lively sessions on interview skills, engaging panel talks on AI, debates on whether an apprenticeship beats a traditional degree, and plenty of networking to help you build those key industry relationships. And the best part? We’re shaping the agenda with your input, so tell us what you want to learn about!
