AOI | Yo Illo ILLO TALKS hosted by creativehub
Our bi-monthly speaker series occurs on the first Tuesday of the month (in March, May, July, September, and November) at creativehub, 74 Kingsland Rd, Hackney, London E2 8DL.
Since our first event in June 2015, we’ve covered a whole range of topics, from murals and large scale illustration, animation and the role of illustration in video game design, to a panel discussion on the pros and cons of agency representation.
Relaunched in September 2019, we are now partnered with the AOI (Association of Illustrators) and are hosted by creativehub at their Kingsland Rd location. We aim to continue showcasing the best illustrators, and delve into topics relevant to our business.
Our tickets always sell out quickly, so make sure you sign up to our mailing list to be the first to know about new releases: Yo Illo Talks mailing list
