Bringing our community together and what a night it was 🎤
We hosted the Pollen Social and brought our community back together in person, and they proved once again just how incredible they are. It has been almost two years since the last one, and it was so good to get everyone back in one room.
Holly opened with a panel featuring Lauren Spearman, Jean-Luc Bragard and Jessie Kenneth, whose very different career paths all landed on the same message: embrace the unexpected, setting the tone perfectly before we handed the floor to our community for a debate on career related topics. Getting up on stage and sharing their opinions in front of a room full of strangers isn't something everyone could do, but they did it with the same confidence they bring to their job search every day.
People were still chatting on the street well past the end time, exactly the sign we hoped for that everyone had a great night.
Huge thanks to our sponsors Bicycle, Cawston Press, Pip & Nut, PerfectTed and Honeywell Bakes for all of your support, and to the Pollen team for pulling it all together.
