THE 3rd event - Summer Gathering
Thursday 9th 2 26
It took a while to get the third one off the ground—turns out finding the right London venue is an art form in itself
—but Stanley's Post came straight to the rescue. Thanks to their support as our sponsor, the London Post Club came back for our biggest summer gathering yet.
And what a night. Despite the heat, the room was full from the moment doors opened, and honestly it was hard getting people to quiet down for the talks—everyone was too busy catching up, having a laugh, talking shop. Which, if you think about it, is the whole point.
SpeakerS RANKIN AND KEN VREMAN
The talks themselves delivered. Ken Vreman from Figma Weave gave a live demo showing how retouchers can bridge traditional high-end craft with new AI pipelines—practical, not theoretical, which is what people actually want. Then Rankin got up and talked about his FAIK project: taste, talent, where creative imagery is actually heading. No PR polish, just him being honest about it.
The feedback afterward was the best we've had—loads of people telling us it was the strongest event yet. Big thanks to Stanley's Post, to Ken and Rankin, and to everyone who turned up and made it what it was.
