NYWIFT Virtual Hangout with iTYS, 3/23
Gather together online with your NYWIFT colleagues at our February virtual speed networking mixer. We will be joined by our friends from ITVS!
Come ready to share creative ideas, suggestions, and contact info for further engagement.
We will begin the evening with a brief salon conversation with ITVS leaders to discuss their latest funding opportunities and initiatives, followed by an hour of speed networking. The hour will be broken up into smaller chunks of time, during which you will be randomly paired off with other attendees to network one-on-one.
NYWIFT will also offer a discount on membership to any new members who attend that evening.
NYWIFT hangouts are a safe space to ask entertainment related questions, seek advice, employment and other industry opportunities. Prep your elevator pitch and get ready to make connections!
As always, all members are welcome and encouraged to attend and mix, mingle and get to know our dynamic and talented members and staff in an informal setting.
