The 'Get a Job' Day

Back for its third year, Toronto's only Digital Media Job event continues to grow! We saw 350 attendees in 2008, and 590 in 2009, and we think it will grow again for 2010!

How It Works...

For one afternoon, leading agencies and studios will be setting up at the Hilton Toronto to give talent looking for work a chance to get some face time. Each participating company will give a short presentation explaining what they’re all about, and we also have a few well-known speakers presenting on their area of expertise. Don't forget to bring your business cards with you!
