Find out how to use the power of LinkedIn to boost your business or career

Do you worry about what you would say or post, or whether you have anything “worth sharing”? Feel frustrated by irrelevant or low-quality content in your feed? Feel uncomfortable connecting with people you do not already know? This workshop will put the power of LinkedIn in your hands.

It’s the session for anyone working in the creative industries who knows that LinkedIn matters in 2026 but is not quite sure how to use it in a way that feels authentic, relevant and effective. Your potential clients, collaborators, commissioners, and investors are already on LinkedIn. The question is no longer whether you should be there, but how to show up with confidence and clarity. The workshop is interactive, practical and engaging. You will learn how to use LinkedIn as a powerful networking and opportunity-building platform, without feeling corporate, awkward, or self-promotional.

LinkedIn is evolving fast, and in 2026 it offers creatives a genuine opportunity to build visibility, credibility and meaningful professional relationships. This session will help you understand how to use the platform in a way that feels natural, enjoyable and aligned with how you work. You will leave feeling clearer, more confident and motivated, with practical ideas you can put into action immediately and the offer of a complimentary mini-LinkedIn profile review with Sarah after the conference.
