Fright Night

GLUG PRESENTS: FRIGHT NIGHT 👻

Creative horror stories. Nightmare clients. Terrifying briefs. Ideas that came back from the dead.

This October, Glug is getting spooky.

Welcome to FRIGHT NIGHT, a Halloween special dedicated to the scarier side of working in the creative industries.

Because behind every beautiful case study, shiny portfolio and suspiciously polished LinkedIn post is a story that didn’t quite go to plan.

The pitch you absolutely butchered.

The client feedback that still haunts you.

The project that went horribly, spectacularly wrong.

The deadline that nearly killed everyone involved.

The idea everyone hated… until suddenly they didn’t.

And the occasional creative miracle dragged back from the dead.

🎃 WHAT’S HAPPENING?

We’re inviting some brilliant people from across the creative industry to share the stories you don’t normally hear on stage.

Expect honest tales of mistakes, disasters, difficult decisions, unexpected comebacks and those moments where everything looked completely fucked… right before it somehow worked out.

Less polished success story. More creative confession booth.

And because it’s Halloween, expect Glug to be looking a little different too.

👻 Halloween shenanigans
🎤 Brilliant speakers

Fancy dress? Very much encouraged.

Why Attend?

Glug is the creative industry’s notworking event. We’ve been bringing designers, creatives, makers, founders, studios and generally interesting humans together since 2007. Yes, there are talks. Yes, you’ll probably learn something. But Glug has never really been about sitting quietly in rows while somebody clicks through 84 slides about their career.

It’s about meeting people, having conversations you wouldn’t have online and finding collaborators, clients, friends, jobs, ideas and occasionally someone you’ll end up drinking with until considerably later than planned. Networking shouldn’t feel like networking.

So grab a ticket, bring someone interesting and come spend Halloween with London’s creative community. Just don’t say we didn’t warn you. 👻
