rare

Launching in partnership with D&AD, RARE Sydney was a four-day masterclass featuring industry leaders from around the world, aimed at giving creative talent from diverse backgrounds the network and knowledge they need to succeed. The program was launched in response to creative and tech departments lacking in diversity of gender, colour, class, preference and perspective, especially at the top. RARE was started by Stefanie DiGiavincenzo and Google's Tara McKenty, and the Sydney event was followed up by London and Tokyo programs. The inaugural event was hosted at The Glue Society Studios in November 2017 and supporting films were produced by Will O’Rourke.
