Hello guys,
me by myself been thinking the ways how I could keep my skills and knowledge fresh and up to date after graduation while I am looking for a job. I thought that attending design events would be a great way to stay in the mood of design, do not forget that I am a designer (as I am graduating in the end of June from university, there will be no classmates, no my studio neither design projects for a while till i manage to get a job in this a little bit difficult times of recession). I came across with a great website that lists the most important design events worldwide. You have an option to list them according to date the event is held or according to a location. Let’s say I live in United Kingdom so I select United Kingdom to see events on the map in the UK. Or let”s say I am going for holidays in June to France so I can take an opportunity to visit a couple of design events in France during my vacation. If so, you can find the dates and location of events that are held in France, in June by listing June’s events only and then search France on the map where an arrows shows you the exact location of the event and exact date (you have to find a button for more information there so you can see o the left bottom corner the activities the event has (like is it exhibition, talks, lectures, conference, workshop or something else).
I also guess it’s a great opportunity to meet new people, share ideas maybe event create design associations, find people to start a new business together or meet someone who might offer you a job.
I hope you all find something of your interest and use your time efficient while looking for a job after graduation.
So here is the website I mentioned:

All the best, and might see you any of you on events. Have a great time!
