Young creatives in Saudi Arabia and UAE looking to break into the industry have been invited to The One Club for Creativity’s long-running global Portfolio Night, taking place on October 30, 2025.

Portfolio Night serves as the gateway for young talent to enter the industry, enabling the best of the present — hundreds of renowned international creative directors — to meet and mentor the leaders of the future in industry hubs around the world. 

The UAE version of the event takes place in Dubai, while the host city is still to be determined for Saudi Arabia.  Both regional events will be hosted by Impact BBDO.

Established in 2003, Portfolio Night is recognised as one of the world’s largest advertising portfolio review programmes. The fast-paced evening of advice, networking and recruitment takes place in dozens of cities around the world on or near the same date to help the next generation of creative talent entering the industry.  

It has also become a crucial tool for agencies to recruit top young talent, providing a platform for recognition from local industry peers, and gives agencies a place on the global stage, which the ad world tunes into.

The programme also includes a Portfolio Night All-Stars programme, where each host city selects one young creative in their market with the best portfolio to participate in a competition for ‘All-Stars’.

Google will serve as the exclusive global sponsor of this year’s edition of Portfolio Night, providing and evaluating the Portfolio Night All-Stars brief competition.

The All-Stars will work in global teams on a brief from Google, and attend seminars and recruiting sessions.  At the end of the week, each team presents their pitch to a panel including representatives from Google.

The Grand Prize winning All-Stars will be flown to New York by The One Club for Creative Week 2026.

Branding for Portfolio Night 2025 was created by 2022 Young Guns Winner, Ana Miminoshvili represented by Glasshouse Artists in North America.
