You have a voice—learn to use it as a force for good. At our last (but not least) Stuff They Don’t Tell You 2022 event, we’re heading to Berlin to discuss what it means to use your skills, platform, or voice to defy the status quo. Joining us are trailblazers of change, including Richard Akingbehin, Sandira Blas, and Aysha Hussain. We hope to see you there.

The Series
There are lots of things for creatives to think about beyond having good ideas. And while industry events tend to cover the high-end, sexy topics—from unrealistic routines for creative inspiration to (even more unrealistic) dream client relationships—we tend to forget about the nitty-gritty and the down-and-dirty. Whether it’s how to get your invoices paid on time or whether you should be copyrighting your work.
That’s where we come in.
Inspired by the WePresent series of the same name, Stuff They Don’t Tell You: Live presents four intimate events across Amsterdam, Berlin and London, where we (alongside a panel of experts) tackle the practical questions that usually go unanswered. So you can get the insider tidbits you need to succeed in a creative career.
