What's on

Corporate Headshots

Wednesday 18 May 2022, 12pm to 2pm, Networking area

All professionals need a great corporate headshot. Even if it is just for your LinkedIn profile a professional headshot creates the image of yourself that you want to portray to colleagues, your employer and your prospective employers! National 2022 offers ALIA members the chance to have a headshot taken by a professional photographer that you can then use for your resume, your online presence or even your next ALIA conference speakers profile. The best part is that you don’t need to leave the conference venue and it is completely free of charge.

Limited opportunities are available and will be offered to the first registered delegates to take up the offer.
