Forget love, we’re here to work. Last year’s career speed dating was such a hit that we’ve decided to take another shot at helping you find a job you’ll love. Join us for drinks, nibbles, music and an evening of career speed dating. You’ll get the chance to mingle with the publishing professionals whose job you’ve had your eye on and will get the chance to be on the other side of the interview table for a change!

You’ll make your way round the tables, meeting industry professionals from all areas of publishing including agents, editorial, marketing, sales, publicity and digital.
