Speed Portfolio Review - After Config
Overview
Join us for a night of rapid-fire portfolio reviews with industry mentors. Think speed dating—only with pixels and feedback.
You’ll get focused 7-minute 1:1 sessions with mentors who’ll give it to you straight. While you wait, you’re welcome to hover nearby and soak up insights from other sessions.
We’ll wrap up with a live panel where mentors review a few portfolios in front of everyone. Expect honest takes, useful critiques, and maybe a little secondhand embarrassment.
What to bring

❓ FAQ
“I’m not going to Config… can I still come?”
Absolutely! Everyone is welcome. No need to go to Config to attend this.
“My portfolio isn’t finished… is that okay?”
Even better. Bring what you have and get early feedback. Also… when is a portfolio ever really finished?
“Who’s organizing this? Why?”
The Lummi.ai team, in collaboration with Udemy. Why? Because it’s fun to be helpful—and we love this community.
“How do I get a 1:1 review slot?”
Review sign-ups happen at the event, first-come, first-served.
So… show up early. RSVP doesn’t guarantee a review—just entry to the event.
We’ll try our best to get as many people reviewed as possible, but seats are limited.
