We are delighted to welcome you to an exclusive networking session, guest presentation and highlights tour of Degree Show 2026.

This year, nearly 430 graduating students will be showcasing their work in the creative setting of our galleries and studios, turning DJCAD into one of the largest free arts venues in the country. This Chamber event is an opportunity to network with a range of like-minded individuals and businesses from multiple sectors, as well as join us to celebrate and immerse yourself in the incredible imagination and talent of this year’s graduating class of students.

Following a networking session and complementary treats generously provided by Fisher & Donaldson, hear how this family baking company collaborated with a recent DJCAD graduate, Lauren Morsley, to explore how design, creativity and delicious cakes made the perfect partnership.

After the keynote presentation, there is the option to join a tour of the degree show, led by knowledgeable and enthusiastic members of the academic team. This is also a valuable opportunity for students to meet key industry contacts, as well as for businesses to make connections with graduates and even purchase some of the work on display.

We look forward to seeing you there!
