Connection Not Clicks
About this Event
Hi, hey, hello Gluggers
Three world-class creative studios. Free food and drinks. Great people. A few surprises.
Welcome to Glug’s Summer Party.
For our third event back, we’re bringing together some of the most respected creative minds in the industry to explore a simple idea:
What happens when we put people first?
In a world obsessed with clicks, we’re celebrating connection. Join Glug’s summer party for inspiring talks, great people, free food and FREE drinks!
Across the evening, you’ll hear from three acclaimed creative studios, all from different areas of the industry, as they share the projects, thinking and approaches that put people at the centre of everything they do.
From building brands people genuinely care about, to creating communities, experiences and stories that resonate, each talk will offer a different perspective on what it means to create work for humans, not feeds.
But as always with Glug, the talks are only part of the story.
This event is designed to bring creative people together. Whether you’re a designer, strategist, marketer, developer, founder, student, freelancer or simply curious about creativity, you’ll be surrounded by people who care about making great work and meeting great people.
Expect an evening of inspiring talks, meaningful conversations, free food and drinks, and a few extra surprises we’ve got planned for our summer celebration.

Why Attend?
Most creative events focus on the stage.
Glug has always been about what happens around it.
The conversations before the talks.
The introductions afterwards.
The future collaborators, clients, friends and opportunities you didn’t know you’d find.
Whether you’re looking for inspiration, new connections or simply a great night out with the creative community, Connection Not Clicks is designed to bring people together.
