Event series - Build & Connect

Build & Connect, an initiative by AWOL, is dedicated to nurturing a vibrant community of young creatives. Since the beginning, this event series has evolved through several unique editions, each offering a mix of engaging activities to inspire and connect participants.

The journey began with our edition at the Arcade Hotel in Amsterdam, setting the stage for future gatherings by creating an inviting space for young creatives. Throughout each edition, we’ve combined diverse elements such as workshops, talks, creative speed dates, collaborative projects, and entertainment. From vision boarding to awarding community achievements, Build & Connect has become a supportive environment where young creatives can thrive. Our mission remains clear: to cultivate a community that supports and inspires the next generation of creative minds.

I got the honour to manage all of our latest events and guide our team through the production. From brainstorming to visualising, designing to planning I got to do it all. Take a look at our latest events:
