Don't be silly, get skilly!

SkillsFest is a fully digital, online event, held in our very own South Metaverse (aka the vFairs Platform), the first event of its kind within BAT APMEA South! You don’t have to travel to any specific location to attend, and you can participant from anywhere that you have internet access.

For those who prefer a more communal experience, we’ll also set up hubs in our offices open to broadcast some of the sessions.  The in-person hubs are optional and designed to enhance your experience, but you can still participate in the entire event virtually if you can’t be in the office on those days.

Yes! While SkillsFest is primarily a virtual event, we’re making it a fully immersive, hybrid experience. SkillsFest Office Hubs will be set up at each of our main office locations across APMEA South. You're welcome to visit these hubs in person during SkillsFest to connect and engage with other attendees.

SkillsFest offers a dynamic and flexible experience with multiple sessions and workshops happening concurrently. You can check the event agenda here to see all the sessions available at the same time and choose the ones that interest you most. This setup allows you to tailor your experience by selecting the most relevant and engaging sessions for your growth.
