The Inspire Conference is November 7th, and our Networking Lounge needs industry friends and alums from BIT, CA/P, IST, BTM, DSML, Game Dev, Digital Media, and Film Production to answer questions from our current students. You likely remember the value of these interactions when you were a student, and recall how beneficial they were to you.
