Each week from April 8, the ADG will host 40 short/sharp Zoom ‘mentoring’ sessions in a moderated Q&A format.

Each ADG-40 ‘First-Hand’ 60-minute session will be provided free-of-charge to ADG members across Australia with a mix of questions-on-notice and ‘from the floor’ curated to plug emerging members directly into the ADG’s established member knowledge-base and get ‘First-Hand’, real-world guidance on the craft and business of directing and on career progression.

The webinars will be moderated by the ADG’s Strategy & Development Executive Ana Tiwary.
