18 young creatives from Asia Pacific to participate in the LIA Creative Conversations conference, held in Las Vegas during LIA judging week

18 young creatives from the Asia Pacific region will be attending the London International Awards ‘Creative Conversations’ programme to be held in Las Vegas early October.

‘Creative Conversations’ is a four day programme held during the LIA judging week at the Encore Hotel, Las Vegas. It is geared towards newcomers in the industries of advertising, design, digital and production. This educational initiative is fully funded by LIA including airfares and accommodation. It is LIA’s way of giving back to the industry and places are limited to no more than 80 juniors worldwide.

‘Creative Conversations’ is an opportunity to connect creative talent worldwide at every level, face-to-face. The programme includes seminars and one-on-one’s with the Juries and Speakers. In a rare opportunity, for the second year in a row Creative Conversations attendees will sit-in on the final day of judging during the statue discussions. It also provides unequaled access to the top class list of ECDs and Worldwide Creative Directors who are judging LIA this year.
