The full recordings from The Masterclasses by National Geographic Traveller (UK), sponsored by MPB, are now available to watch online. For those who missed out, on 30 January 2025, the National Theatre’s Buffini Chao Deck played host to a vibrant gathering of creatives, storytellers and industry experts. It was an evening designed to educate and inspire – and you can now access the full event recordings online. 

The event featured an impressive line-up of editors, writers and photographers sharing their insights on everything from pitching and publishing to photography gear and visual storytelling. 

An evening of practical advice and creative connection 

Across a series of panels and Q&As, our speakers offered real-world guidance for those looking to break into or develop their careers in travel media. From advice on how to craft the perfect pitch to selecting the right camera kit for assignments, the sessions were packed with useful takeaways. 

The event also provided a valuable opportunity for attendees to meet and connect — whether over a drink, during panel discussions or between sessions. 

Topics covered included: 

• The essentials of compelling travel writing 
• How to pitch with clarity and confidence 
• Equipment advice for professional and aspiring photographers
