Soundboard Events are a little different...
Here’s our thing: we want you to feel inspired, to bounce ideas, and meet like-minded people. How do we do that? Through Soundboarding!
Every few months we host a series of events where we bring in speakers who are doing something brilliant in the world to share their story. As well as this, we hold curated matches (through Zoom breakout rooms) where we handpick 2 other event attendees for you to meet with based on your interests, the industry you work in or your what you are passionate about.
Building connections with likeminded people is the heart of Soundboard, how else can we learn, inspire, and motivate each other? Sign up today - we can't wait to meet you!
What we'll cover...
We'll hear from Naresh Ramchandani, an inspiring force for good in the creative industry. As well as being a writer and partner at Pentagram Design, President of D&AD, and co-founder of mould-breaking cooperative creative agency St. Luke’s, and one of Britain’s most progressive creative agencies, Karmarama - Naresh also co-founded Do The Green Thing, a public service for the planet that uses creativity to tackle climate change.
At this Soundboard session, Naresh will speak about his experience working in communications and design with a social purpose. He'll talk about the role creativity can play to expand imaginations and contribute towards a fairer, more diverse and sustainable world.
A passionate environmental campaigner and expert communicator, Naresh will share the many imaginative solutions he's worked on to address the systems and powers which hold the most control and influence. We'll also hear about the impact and reach of the Do the Green Thing community, and how it has influenced over 45 million people to tackle the unsustainable status quo and live more sustainably.
