Are you a young creative professional in need of an inspiration fix? Maybe you have a BIG idea that needs a bit of a kick along to get off the ground? Well listen up, Portable Talks aims to bring thought leaders from the online and digital industries to our very shores. The Talks are a conversation style event giving you the opportunity to hear practical tips and insights that aim to foster innovation and risk taking in business.
This week folk from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane will get the opportunity to listen to Scott Belsky the CEO and Founder of Behance. His book “Making Idea Happen” is a Wall Street Journal best seller and was named "a Swiss army knife for ideas", by Ji Lee, Creative Director of Facebook. If that is not enough to spark you interest, Fast Company Magazine named Belsky as “100 Most Creative People in Business”.
So listen in and be inspired by one of world’s most influential creative leaders and maybe it could be the fix your BIG idea needs.
