The city that never sleeps just got a little louder

We're taking the stage in the city that sets the global tone for music, culture, and creativity. This is our first-ever Creative Connections event in New York City, and it’s all going down after hours. Come connect with fellow artists, producers, managers, and tastemakers for an evening of real conversation, great music, good food, and drinks that keep the energy flowing.


Whether you're building your brand, expanding your network, or just here for the vibe—this is where NYC’s music community meets.


21+ | Come for the connections, stay for the culture.

Define

Jessica Annas Defines the User Journey

We’re capturing more data than ever before. And we’re doing it more precisely. But we’re still not using data to its full potential. Used well, numbers can teach us about each other, inspire our creativity and help us take risks and innovate in our work.

12:00pm

Diverge

Ashton Ajayi of Pixel Palace will explain how marketers can use our insights and knowledge about the customer to influence and improve the bigger business strategy.

Decide

Chris Logan Reviews Decide Methods

Everyone’s focusing on it, but it’s not a focused word. What does it mean exactly? Why does it matter? And how do we do it right? Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development. 

“Design is not making beauty, beauty emerges from selection, affinities, integration, love.”
