About this Event
Portfolio Night is the advertising and creative industry's most recognized global mentoring event. Created in 2003 by The One Club for Creativity, it brings together emerging creative talents and some of the world's leading creative directors for an evening of rapid, one-on-one portfolio reviews. Now in its 23rd year, The One Club for Creativity’s Portfolio Night has been to more than 60 countries and over 70 cities worldwide.
In 2026, Portfolio Night Beirut will be hosted by IAA Lebanon.
The event is open to senior students and fresh grads in graphic design, art direction, copywriting from major Lebanese universities.
IAA Lebanon will select one standout young creative as its All-Star. In early 2027, All-Stars compete in a virtual boot camp, tackling a real-world brief assignment.
The winning team of 4-5 All-Stars receive a trip to New York City for The One Club’s Creative Week 2027- an unparalleled launchpad for their careers on the world’s biggest stage.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Each Portfolio Night event is different, but you can always expect an energetic, fast paced evening of one-to-one portfolio reviews.
In most cases, young creatives (students, recent grads and young professionals) get at least three 15-minute reviews from established creatives in their region across the three-hour event.
When you're not being reviewed, you will have the opportunity to rub elbows with fellow professionals, students, and recent graduates in your city.
Portfolio Night promises a networking event full of new connections and probably some pretty good food and drinks.
IMPORTANT
If you are no longer able to attend the event, it's important to let your city host know as this will impact the event for other attendees.
