GROUP Y CONNECT 

Events | Content | Jobs

Hello, everyone in our Group Y community. As we enter the new year, we are filled with optimism and ready for change. Our mission has remained consistent since our inception over 18 years ago: to connect and facilitate growth and networking opportunities for you and our industries.

We have an exciting lineup of upcoming events, including the CreativityFlow series, meetups in various cities, and engaging content featuring brands and thought leaders from our sectors.

As we share this message, a number of our community members have been affected by the fires in Los Angeles. We encourage you to contribute to local relief organizations or to get involved personally. We will get through this together.

This week's key topics include Kith’s nostalgic Sesame Street collaboration, Adidas replacing Puma as Mercedes F1’s team partner, and Park City ski patrol’s tentative agreement ending a lengthy strike.
