‘How to make the most of your course – from ones who know’ will feature panellists who have successfully made the transition from student to professional conservator over the last few years.
They’ll share their experiences and provide tips and tricks about the things you can do now to hit the ground running and get into position for a successful career in conservation.
The event will also feature breakout discussions to help you make connections, and close with Zoom drinks in discussion rooms per institution. So if you’re just about to start your course this year, you’ll know people when you get there!
Join us on Zoom to hear from our fabulous panel!
