NYC Creative Mixer for Creators, Models, Photographers & Founders — X Series,

About the event

The first chapter of X Series — a new gathering for the people building, shooting, and shaping culture. This kickoff rooftop mixer brings together photographers, models, founders, creators and people from different walks of life for one night of real conversation, real connections, and real energy above the city skyline.

​No pitches, no panels — just good people, good drinks, and the start of something bigger. Come meet your next collaborator, client, or co-founder.

​Special Guest: We are hyped to have visionary creator @phillycreate with more than 24k followers in the building for this one. They have one of the fastest-growing community of models, photographers, content creators. Featured on CBS and FOX29.

​This is X Series #1. If you’re building, creating, founding something or you just wanna meet cool people — you’re on the list.

Why should you sponsor?

X Series isn’t a traditional networking event, it is a highly curated, invite-only room of New York’s top visual creators, founders, and culture-shapers. For our kickoff rooftop mixer, we are gathering a strictly vetted guest list, anchored by visionary creator @phillycreate, for an evening of real connection without the sterile panels or forced pitches. By partnering with us, your brand isn't just buying a logo placement; you are organically integrating into a high-leverage room of early adopters, putting your product directly into the cinematic content this crowd naturally creates and the professional workflows they build
