Please join Creative's XP (Experience) as it hosts its first ever Creative's Xplore event in the DC Metro area on Saturday, February 22nd, 2020 from 10:00 AM - 1:00PM at SmithGroup's DC location.

Creative's XP is a professional development organization that introduces collegiate architecture students to traditional and non-traditional design careers. Through a series of annual events, students have the opportunity to engage with professionals from various creative careers, participate in workshops, build a network, and craft a thoughtful game plan to tackle their desired careers head-on.

Creative's Xplore is a subcomponent of Creative's XP and is the direct training mechanism for student-based seminars and learning. Join us for the first Creative's Xplore event that will touch on career opportunities in the public, private, and community-based design sectors. Participate in an informative Q&A session during the Creative's XP Round-Robin Discussion, and end the event with a firm tour of SmithGroup's DC office! Lunch will be provided.
