University of the Arts London is looking for creative employers, industry professionals and organisations to take part in International Futures Industry Day on Thursday 10 September 2026.

The event will bring together UAL’s international students and graduates with creative organisations from across London and beyond for a day of talks, workshops, networking and industry insight.

International Futures Industry Day is designed to help students better understand creative career pathways, hear directly from industry professionals, build meaningful connections with employers who have interests in supporting global talent.

We’re looking for organisations that have an interest in supporting international talent or operate within a global creative industry. Whether you’re an employer, creative studio, gallery, publisher, professional body or cultural organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

There are several ways to get involved:

  • Host an advice and/or information stand
  • Join an industry panel discussion
  • Deliver a 20-minute lightning talk
  • Run a 45-minute workshop
  • Offer portfolio and/or CV reviews

The event will take place at either Chelsea College of Arts or Central Saint Martins, with the final venue to be confirmed shortly.

If your organisation would like to inspire the next generation of international creative talent and build connections with UAL students, we’d love to hear from you.

Please complete our short Expression of Interest form and a member of the Careers & Employability Team will be in touch.
