Join us on Thursday, 25 September, from 9am to 11am at Lawson Flats for a PADC x Talentpay Panel Discussion.

The PADC is partnering with TalentPay to bring together some of Perth’s top production experts for a panel discussion on The Production Playbook: Streamlining the Complexities.

This event is designed for advertising, marketing and creative professionals who want to master the complexities of production. The panel will share their expert insights and practical strategies for keeping projects on time, on budget, and true to the creative vision.

The discussion will cover critical topics such as avoiding common pitfalls, striking the right balance between efficiency and creativity, and improving collaboration among agencies, clients and crew.
