This year’s event will kick off with an exclusive opening program designed for emerging talent.

WAY IN is a unique segment tailored specifically for students, recent graduates, or emerging talent, eager to make their way into the industry. Here, talent will get the opportunity to engage in one-on-one speed dating sessions with top industry professionals from all labels within WPP. As WPP houses a diverse array of agencies, we cover interests in communication, production, creativity and media.
These rapid-fire, face-to-face interactions will allow talent to showcase their portfolio, discuss their ambitions, and receive personalized feedback and insights from industry professionals.
While the speed dating takes place, attendees can also sit in on curated talks from big names in the industry.
