Professionals, students, tutors, sponsors, people you're sure you've met before but whose name escapes you, and a very big pile of Pencils. There will also be dodgem cars, a Ferris wheel, a drinks reception, cocktails, dinner - and the Pencils?
This year's Awards Night is going to be one hell of a summer party. This is creativity super-sized. Not only will you see the most outstanding professional work from last year, you'll also get to meet the top graduates from around the world. Add in the 20 Student Awards sponsors, all of them representatives of some of the best-known brands around, and you're looking at a serious networking opportunity as well. Moreover, it has a streamlined ceremony; it'll be shorter and snappier this year - which means you'll have plenty of time to party too.
The D&AD Awards Night will take place on Thursday 16 June, in the gardens of the HAC, London. It's going to be big.
