NYTW Conversations: Crafting Community

​You've been grinding all week. Come take a breath - see why community really matters and make something with your hands.

​This is a focused, intimate conversation with Jaclyn Johnson, Founder of Create & Cultivate about what it takes to build a community that lasts: around your brand, your mission, and your capital. And why investors are paying close attention to founders who get this right.

Followed by a panel discussion featuring:
Brett Perlmutter; Founder of Bulletpitch, Partner at NextWave NYC
Gwen Wiscount; Co-Founder & COO At Fabrik
Michelene Wilkerson; Platform Manager Visible Hands
Samantha Brunson; Founder Bobble Club House,Yes & Social, Community & Marketing at GoSadi

​•   The founder-investor-builder community intersection: what it looks like in practice

​•   Followed by a craft & connect session… because everyone needs a moment to just make something
