Portfolio Lab

ICAD’s Portfolio Lab is a unique opportunity for graduates and others to meet and present their work to three creative directors in one evening and to mingle with others in the breaks. The event will give you the opportunity to get you feedback and advice on your ideas and your work from some of the best Creative Directors in design and advertising. There’s also an ‘etiquette’ class explaining some of the pitfalls of creative job hunting. It’s a high-energy, inspiring evening and it’s invaluable as a first step into the creative industry.

Thank You

Portfolio Lab simply couldn’t exist without the Creative Directors who generously give up their time to take part in the evening. We are hugely grateful for the energy and commitment they bring to each Portfolio Lab event we run. We’d also like to say a special thank you to Eoghan Nolan for the superb Etiquette Class he has developed for us and runs each year.
