regional chapters

At KTG we’re passionate about a community’s power to drive change.

Online is great for reach and news, but our work is made all the more effective by getting people in a room to share experiences, knowledge and ideas with each other.

Our regional chapters tap into the brilliant creative communities that exist across our talented isle, and we’re excited to now have 6 chapters covering a large number of the UK’s design hubs.

Alongside panel and training events, each region also has access to its own KTG mentoring programme, thanks to the brilliant network of our mentoring partners at The Conversation Space.

We strongly encourage you to reach out to your local chapter to see how you can get actively involved in your community.
