We’re super excited to be hosting a contributor day this Friday, August 1st from noon to 6 PM. We have a few important notes for attendees.

RSVPs are sold out

We had an overwhelming number of RSVPs for contributor day, and RSVPs are officially sold out.

Relocating Contributor Day

Due to the large number of RSVPs we received and our desire to provide capacity for as many contributors as possible, we’re relocating contributor day to NYU’s Kimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South.

No food will be provided during the event, so make sure to eat beforehand.
