We're getting together for Salt's event of the year!
A night out to catch up and network with other creative and inspiring people who, just like you, are applying their talent within the media industry.
We’ll be joined by 2 incredible guests (scroll for the big reveal!)
But it doesn't end there… We'll be introducing you to this year's 3 CBA scholarship winners, and announcing the winner of Sharkpod. The winner gets $20k of support to make their podcast dream a reality.
If there's one Salt event to get along to for the year, this is it! And because it's about serving you, we're making it free. You just need to book a ticket.
Just look at all the joy from the last time we got together!
