Fast Forward 2026

Fast forward your development now
Fast Forward is a six-week pitch training course that helps you grow your skills, thinking, and network. You’ll work in a team to tackle a live brief focused on a real-world social issue – building strategy, crafting ideas, and sharpening your storytelling as you go.
With guidance from top industry voices and support from a team mentor, you’ll bring everything together in a final pitch that puts your learning into action.
A dynamic way to help retain and upskill your rising stars
The Fast Forward programme will most benefit those in the advertising and media industries who are junior / mid-level with one to five years’ experience. Fast Forward is an ideal way to incentivise your staff and increase retention by giving delegates the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. Connecting with like-minded people from all corners of the industry, attendees will boost their network and gain vital exposure. And what’s more, all profits go back to helping NABS support our community.
