Back in November, I started planning a trip to take 20 of UGA's American Marketing Association members to New York City. Atlanta has no shortage of well-known brands and agencies of all sizes, but it’s a completely different world from the streets of Manhattan. Last week, I got to watch 100+ hours of planning work unfold! ✈️

Wednesday was a busy travel day, thanks to flight delays and our first go at the NYC Subway system... but it allowed us to do all of the "touristy" things before we kick off the real business. 🚆

Throughout Thursday, we explored life at Spotify and WPP Media, visiting their high-rise offices in the Financial District with stellar views and endless rooms. We followed with a Networking Event at Jack Demsey's, where we were joined by a dozen UGA Alumni and AMA New York professionals! I wanted this to showcase what a typical post-grad mixer will feel like, compared to the more formal events we have back at school. 💼

Friday morning, we toured the new Google office at St. John's Terminal, where two professionals shared their post-grad career journeys and answered our burning questions. 💻

We had our fair share of hiccups (such as me leading us uptown when we needed to be on the southbound trains), but overall, I think it was successful in showing these Georgia students the city that never sleeps! 🗽
