Future Forward is a week-long online symposium, designed to support graduating students (and anyone thinking about their future) with the skills they need to transition into the creative industry. The program features workshops, discussions, and tutorials designed to inspire, motivate, and inform the next steps of your career journey. It's time to ask the big questions, upskill, and connect with the professionals and organisations you need to know. Future Forward is inspired by Future/Forward, NAVA's biennial national arts summit.
