About The Art of the Pivot: Navigating Careers in Film, Advertising, and Media
Join us for a panel discussion with industry veterans as they share their tips and advice for building careers and maintaining personal lives in one of the most chaotic industries in the world.
Learn how to increase your own professional resilience and build a career you love.
Careers in film, television, commercials, and media are often unpredictable. As demand for content fluctuates, and new technology is introduced, how do you maintain a career while simultaneously sustaining a personal life? Join us for an intimate conversation with media professionals who had to answer that question for themselves, and learn how they navigated the turbulence along the way.
Through this panel discussion, we're here to build a sense of:
Hope: Understanding career options and ways to build, sustain, or pivot.
Community: Through connection with panelist stories and experiences along with meeting and mingling with other attendees.
Activation: Walk away with tangible and actionable advice and takeaways you can apply to your own career
