Portfolio Reviews are like mixed-media speed dating for introverts! ICON attendees are paired with top art directors—from editorial, publishing, advertising, and beyond—for short one-on-one meetings. It’s fast, it’s focused, it’s for newbies and seasoned pros, and it’s a great chance to make contacts, get advice, and maybe even come away with a gig!

Sign up for á la carte reviews to meet industry-leading art directors and creatives. Tickets on sale now for registered attendees only. To purchase a ticket, registered attendees should check their inbox for the Eventbrite link to reserve a portfolio review slot. ICON will match participants to reviewers; participants will not be able to request specific reviewers.

Portfolio Reviews will be held in the lobby of the Brown Center at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, and there will be two sessions: Session #1: 11 am–12 pm, and Session #2: 1 pm–2 pm.
