The Minimal NYC

Introducing The Minimal NYC. An app that connects you to people who are willing to trade lives. For real. Ever wonder what it’d be like to be a music teacher in Nashville? A children’s book illustrator in Brooklyn? A human rights activist in DC?


It’s a social network that facilitates real life swaps: you go to someone’s city, live in their home, hang with their friends and family, do their jobs, attend their events and activities. Yes, it’s totally intense… and it’s totally thrilling. Call us crazy, but we don’t think the best memories are made in the comfort zone.

 
Come check us out at the party (and sign up for The Minimal NYC account at one of our stations while you’re at it). Bottom line: it’s a startup launch. Good times will be had by all.

Speakers

Faizaan Ghauri

Design Partner, The Minimal NYC

Faizaam Ghauri founded The Minimal NYC in late 2012 at the height of the mobile advertising boom. In just 3 years, the agency has emerged as the premier provider of unique mobile ad solutions and has won more creative awards than any agency in North America.

JESSICA ANNAS

Design Partner, Sparkwave Media

Jessica Annas has studied the art of complex data design for more than a decade. Data Designer at Sparkwave Media, Annas works with the company's roster of Fortune 500 brands to make data more beautiful, relatable, and accessible across every screen.

Agenda

9:00am

Understand

Lightning Talks on Business Goals

Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development. Learn about the rapid rise of mobile browsing (and what that means to us) in our interactive globe installation. And hear from Faizaam Ghauri , Founder of The Minimal NYC, about how to get caught up -- and then get ahead.

10:25am

Define

Jessica Annas Defines the User Journey

We’re capturing more data than ever before. And we’re doing it more precisely. But we’re still not using data to its full potential. Used well, numbers can teach us about each other, inspire our creativity and help us take risks and innovate in our work.

12:00pm

Diverge

Ashton Ajayi Discusses Diverge Methods

Ashton Ajayi of Pixel Palace will explain how marketers can use our insights and knowledge about the customer to influence and improve the bigger business strategy.

1:15pm

Decide

Chris Logan Reviews Decide Methods

Everyone’s focusing on it, but it’s not a focused word. What does it mean exactly? Why does it matter? And how do we do it right? Attend small group workshops about mobile ads, mobile responsive site and mobile app development.

Experience Esports!

Valued at over $1 billion in 2019, the world of competitive, organized video gaming has taken the traditional sports realm by storm, and the Dallas Mavericks have sought to weather this tidal wave of non-traditional play. Located in the heart of Deep Ellum, a neighborhood just east of downtown Dallas, is the all-new, state-of-the-art Dallas Mavericks Gaming Hub. This 13,000 square foot pavilion houses the members of the Mavs Gaming team, one of just 17 teams in the NBA 2K League. Prepare yourself for an engaging, interactive tour and discussion as we learn about the virtual world of esports! Lunch will be served.

Winning Edge Dinner of Influence

Co-founded by ESPN's Maria Taylor and Corinne Milien in 2014, the Winning Edge Leadership Academy is committed to changing the game through experiential leadership development, mentorship and job placement opportunities.

Fast forward to 2019 as we seek to recreate this historical gathering among industry veterans and young professionals to discuss career development with the aim of providing assists to the next generation of leaders in sports business. The key to successful leadership rests not in authority, but rather in the power of influence! Join us at The Hero and find your champion!
