EVENT: ITP Career Camp

September 14, 2012
6:30 pmto8:00 pm
We are building on the success of the ITP Grad Launch event which happens each May — as recent grads know, at Grad Launch we pull together industry people of every stripe to try and expose the graduating class to diverse, creative ways of thinking about work/career.  Now we’d like to try offering smaller, more frequent such events for the ITP community — we hope that they are going to of value to you.
On Friday, 9/14 starting at 6:30 we are proud to have representatives here from:
Huge                 http://www.hugeinc.com/contactus/brooklyn/
Draftfcb                http://www.draftfcb.com/
We’ll gather as a big group at 6:30 pm in Room 50 for brief presentations from everyone — and then move into break out rooms so you can hear in detail from the groups that interest you most.
