We had an incredible Face-To-Face event at San Francisco’s beautiful and historic City Club last year! AtEdge photographers used this occasion to present their portfolios to a group of more than 30 hand-picked creatives, art directors, and producers from some of the country’s most prominent companies and ad agencies.
Twice a year at Face-to-Face, AtEdge photographers present their work in private, one-on-one meetings to creatives that have the need and budgets to hire the highest caliber talent. It’s an opportunity for busy creatives to link up with groundbreaking photographers in a laid-back and casual environment.
Artists and creatives also get a chance to mingle throughout the day between meetings. For many, this relaxed downtime is when the best and most impactful connections are made.
We’re overwhelmed with the success of this year’s event and thrilled to continue this series into 2018. Face-to-Face events are held twice a year — each spring in New York, and in alternate cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Minneapolis and London in the fall.
Our next Face-To-Face event is May 1st in New York City, an incredible opportunity available exclusively to AtEdge members.
Making new connections and revitalizing old relationships is what Face-to-Face is all about. Please contact Elizabeth Owen, President of AtEdge, if you are interested in attending a future Face-To-Face.
