Without Next Gen Dinner Series, I would've never met Duncan Bruce. I kept in touch with him after the dinner and sent him my portfolio. He loved it and fought hard to have a position created at Nurun just for me. I have Ad Lounge to thank for making this all possible!

Next Gen Dinner Series in word one, is 'invaluable'. It's an opportunity to learn, be inspired, and to build the confidence you need to put your name out there. It's definitely an experience you won't want to miss!

Getting to meet these people at a young age when you're coming out of school is an experience of a lifetime.
