VlogIT

Thursday 11 June, 2015 10:00 - 18:30 | North West Regional College


In association with Culture Northern Ireland ()

From beauty, fashion, lifestyle, gaming, fitness to the downright weird, vlogging is big business. Brands are paying huge money to get involved and TV and book deals are plentiful. How hard can it be, right?

We’ve brought together some of the UK and Ireland’s most influential vloggers to share their progression - from the inevitable knock backs to becoming an ‘influencer’. In the afternoon learn about the development process, from building your followers to going full-time. Attend workshops on content creation, editing skills, legal issues and get the chance to ask the experts lots of questions.

N.B. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
