THE KIT CONNECT CONFERENCE
The Kit and the Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards are teaming up to support the next generation of fashion professionals. The goal: connecting talented individuals with a passion for getting into fashion with Canadian fashion leaders who can offer their advice on how to break into this uniquely competitive business.
THE KIT CONNECT CONFERENCE
April 5, 2017
9:30 am to 4:30 pm
Lower Junction Gallery
213 Sterling Road, Toronto, ON, M6R 2B2
Join us on April 5 for The Kit Connect Conference—a full-day career series that includes panels of Canada’s top editors, designers, marketers, artists, bloggers and retailers. Attendees will hear inspiring accounts of how insiders got their first break, the roles they had along the way and how they landed their current positions. Learn about career options, meet new mentors, and network with potential employers.
Tickets to the conference include an invitation to The Kit’s pre-party at Hudson’s Bay Queen Street, which kicks off the festivities with a buzzy evening event of mingling with a group of like-minded peers. (Plus: shopping with a discount!). Packages are outlined below.
