A promotional graphic with a pink and purple grainy background for an event between SubComm and Subtle. Both logos appear at the top followed by large black text that says "Practitioners and researchers: Things I've always wanted to ask..." Smaller black text then says, "Thursday 24 April 1:30 - 3 pm UK time, Zoom, Join SubComm and SUBTLE for an informal chat and networking opportunity between AVT practitioners and researchers". Finally, there are two links: subcomm.co.uk and subtle-subtitlers.org.uk, with a graphic of a lilac film reel on the right.
