BROADEN YOUR HORIZON
The fact that your study at IMEM is finished, does not mean that you do not have the opportunity
to gain more knowledge about technology and media. After graduation is the best time to keep
developing your interest and knowledge within the media and games industry by means of work-
shops, events and seminars. So maybe you’re thinking, should I be handing over my spare time
whilst working a full-time job?
Attending workshops, events and seminars offer you a lot of opportunities when becoming
a business professional. It gives you the chance to build your network and broaden it.
Relationships with speakers and clients can help you gain and share knowledge in the field by
having essential conversations with them, being open to them and maintaining a positive
attitude during the conversation. You do not only learn more, you also receive a fresh pair
of eyes each time you visit workshops, events and seminars due to the new professionals
you meet and the new information you learn.
