LIA flies in 60 young creatives from around the world to participate in the very first Creative Conversations series – commences today Sept 26

London International Awards has flown in 60 young creatives from around the world today to participate in the very first Creative Conversations series, a three-day program of talks aimed at giving “Young Guns” the opportunity to interact with industry leaders, in the midst of judging for awards.

The program includes lectures from Bob Garfield, and jury members Sonal Dabral and Doerte Spengler-Ahrens (left) as well as intimate seminar-style Q&A sessions with other industry greats such as Neil French, Faris Yakob, Scott Elias, and Jonathan Ker.

Says Spengler-Ahrens: “Creative Conversations is a great way to stimulate exchange between the younger and older generations. When I was starting in my career, I was really interested in how the more experienced people do it. What’s their recipe, what’s their success story? Is there a rule, are there any rules at all?”

Young creatives will have the chance to have those an other questions answered, and LIA2012 will be releasing video interviews on YouTube with speakers, so you, too, can learn more about what our industry leaders have to say.
