On October 24, 2024, NYWIFT colleagues gathered together online for a virtual speed networking mixer, joined by their friends from WIFT Jamaica (WIFTJA)! The evening began with an in-depth salon conversation with WIFT JA leaders to discuss their organization’s latest initiatives, the state of the industry in our two countries, and production opportunities. The conversation was recorded and is available to watch here!
We are keen to bring chapters together and forge stronger WIFTI bonds across the world. To that end, we encourage chapters to set up ‘Let’s have coffee’ meet-ups online. To meet the needs of busy professionals we recommend limiting it to 30 minutes. We will meet two individual chapters each month for introductions or catch ups. To make sure we all get a chance to chat we’ll have a maximum of 4 members on each chapter’s side. These can be Board Members or regular chapter members. So, thirty minutes, 4 members. Twice a month. Interested? Please contact us at smrithika@wft.ie and we’ll take it from there! We encourage chapters to continue this initiative! Pretty soon, we’ll all be talking! Grab a screenshot, and share your experience in a paragraph for the WIFTI Newsletter by sending it to Smithy at smrithika@wft.ie.
