What Our Members Say
Both the training session and the dinner were an incredible opportunity for me to learn, focus and define my own brand. I was able to network with industry professionals and my peers.
It was a great event. Everyone was so interested, curious and respectful. Clearly some great young minds that are going to be the future of our industry. Looking forward to next year!
I can't explain how much impact the dinner had on me in the short while it lasted...it was nothing short of amazing.
From interviews to training, to the main dinner, the journey as a finalist of Next Gen Dinner Series was phenomenal.
After the training session from Combustion, I went home with a completely different perspective on self-branding, networking, and job applications. Leslie’s advice was hard but caring.
There’s nothing like being in a room full of people who just love ideas and can’t wait to bring them to life.
We come back every year because we usually hire 2-3 people from this event. The talent is amazing.
There's that mindset, that curiosity that is super important for us.
Fantastic program. Love that the talent was prepped and ready to chat.
If have 10 resumes on my desk next week, how many hours would it take to schedule those interviews? This is like an interview en masse. It’s actually a more effective interview process than if I were locked up in my boardroom.
This experience had a great impact on my future career trajectory. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
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!
The most important thing you can do is give young people opportunities - we need them, the business needs them, my business needs them.
This night could change your life (and career) forever.
“I left with a job interview confirmed for the following week!”
I interviewed a table full of ready candidates allowing me to meet some future hires and chat to a room full of incredible young people about launching their careers.
