CONNECT WITH OUR GRADUATES

The networking opportunities during the annual Showcase are hugely important, giving our graduates the ability to engage with potential partners and employers.

In the current climate, there are more barriers than ever to getting a foot in the door and it is crucial for them to gain visibility and forge connections within the industry, both offline and online.

Therefore, we want to make it as easy as possible for industry members to contact our 2026 graduates. If you are interested in connecting with any of this year’s cohort, please email Meetthegrad2026@nfts.co.uk and you will be put in touch.

Our new graduates are ready to jump into the world of work and are waiting to hear from you. They need your support now more than ever. Connect with them, sign them, hire them! Thank you.

All 2026 Graduate Showcase events are for industry guests only. Booking links will be available on Thursday 22nd January.
