Popsop Trainings is a new ground breaking educational initiative spearheaded by our journal’s team. It aims to bring the first-class design and marketing expertise of the best international industry professionals to Moscow, Russia, to meet the need for high calibre creative and strategic talent and leadership from both agency and client sides.

Popsop events will be held throughout a year as short, one-day training sessions focused on practical skills and invaluable knowledge our attendees will acquire after analyzing and discussing successful case studies and working collaboratively in groups.

We proudly call this initiative groundbreaking, as this is going to be the first ever series of marketing/design trainings in Moscow taught by international practitioners who share the most up-to-date, first-hand knowledge and insights that can’t be learnt anywhere else.

Where: Moscow, British Higher School of Art and Design, Nizhnyaya Syromyatnicheskaya ul., d.10, str 3.

What kind of speakers we are looking for

Our goal is to inspire, educate and connect our delegates, empowering them to lead their businesses forward. That’s why we are looking for inspiring, knowledgeable experts with the proven track record of successful case studies and business achievements in their areas of expertise.

A trainer/speaker will be expected to deliver a 1.5-hour program that includes presentation of a case study, discussion and practical exercises.
