NYWIFT Virtual Hangout with WIFT Jamaica
24 Oct 2024 @ 06:30pm
Gather together online with your NYWIFT colleagues at our October 24th virtual speed networking mixer. We will be joined by our friends from Women in Film and Television Jamaica (WIFTJA)! Come ready to share creative ideas, suggestions, and contact info for further engagement.
We will begin the evening with a ten-minute salon conversation to discuss WIFTJA’s latest opportunities and initiatives, followed by about 90 minutes of speed networking, during which you will be randomly paired off with other attendees to network one-on-one. This is a great opportunity for NYWIFT members to network with their WIFT sisters.
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.
