Designers Northern Alliance Event
As part of Code’s continuing involvement and support of the region’s HE institutions we’ve been asked to participate in The Designers Northern Alliance (DNA) event. This is a two day event organised by the coming together of 6 Northern HE institutions. As well as showcasing the region’s best undergraduate and postgraduate talent from the fields of Design, Advertising, Animation and Digital Media, the events aims to bring together representatives from industry and academia in the hope of fostering closer links and shared ideas on the development of the Design Professionals’ role within Higher Education.
The event will include:
- Keynote lectures from the cream of the design & creative industry
- Roundtable discussion to develop greater collaboration between industry and academia
- An exhibition of the best graduate talent from universities in the north
- Portfolio surgeries for students
- Q&A session with panel from industry professionals and academics
As well as being asked to judge at the pre-private view (for various categories including, best idea, wow factor & best in show), we’ll also be giving one of the keynote lectures, have creatives running some of the portfolio surgeries and have a panel representative at the Q&A session.
If you would like to participate or find out more about the event, contact Jo Greenhalgh at j.greenhalgh@salford.ac.uk
Get it in your diaries – see you there!
