Another year, another spirited and successful mixer for some of the industry’s brightest rising stars! The AICP East Board hosted its annual Emerging Talent Mixer at Heard City on September 10th. A group of junior creatives and producers gathered from around New York City for an opportunity to network and connect with one another.
Shelby Ross, East Board President and Managing Partner/EP, Group Thrpy, Lauren Hertzberg, East Board VP and Managing Partner, Cut+Run, Gloria Pitagorsky, East Board member and Co-Founder/Managing Partner, Heard City, and Kristin Wilcha, Senior VP of Operations/Chief of Staff, AICP, spoke to the importance of connection and creating a space for rising talent to grow and develop.
The event, along with Camp Kuleshov, is part of AICP’s continuing effort to bring up the next generation of creatives in the industry and provide them with the space and resources to continue to grow.
Attendees snacked on tacos and pizza while sharing buzzing conversation, and the evening’s events concluded with a raffle drawing.
