Youngbloods VIC returns with Suits & Strat Speed Mentoring on Tuesday 19 July

After three sold-out events, Youngbloods VIC has created something a little different for its next event of the year – a night of Speed Mentoring, kindly hosted by Town Square and generously sponsored by iPopulate.

What better way to connect to the industry, than being able to talk with industry leaders one-on-one?

On Tuesday 19 July, 40 industry mentors will volunteer their time to give advice and pass on learnings to those keen beans looking to venture into (or already in) client service and strategy.

Youngbloods will get five rounds of five minutes with the mentors. Plus there’ll be extra networking opportunities after the session to further those relationships.

Says Isabel Evans, Youngbloods VIC co-chair and VMLY&R creative: “It’s just like speed dating, except with 40 of the best industry mentors in the one room, you know the dates are gonna be good.”

Says Belinda Lodge, founder and managing director at iPopulate: “For two years our advertising community was locked out of pubs, the office, kept away from the ping-pong table, and pitch war rooms. For all this time, we haven’t been able to properly cheers our wins or get around each other after a loss. We had to make do. It was grim. But finally, we’re back. iPopulate is delighted to support Youngbloods and ACA in bringing this speed mentoring event to life in 2022. This event always serves as a great reminder of all that can happen when our magical community shares human connection.”

So brush off your nicest smart-casual outfit, and join Youngbloods VIC for a night of connection.
