ICYMI: Bowery District Dash
On September 22, NextGEN members, students and emerging professionals met at Canal Plastics for a brief tour and to receive their maps for the Bowery District DASH. Teams then scattered throughout the Bowery neighborhood for a scavenger hunt where participants "raced" to different locations to meet with lighting reps and sales teams, learn about their products and services, enjoy delicious snacks and beverages, complete a challenge and receive the clue to their next destination. Upon successful completion of all the locations, teams gathered together for a mixer to network at USAI, partake of more food and beverages, collect their swag bags and enter their completed DASH cards for a chance to win amazing prizes provided by participating brands.
Many thanks to stellar volunteers IESNYC President Shoshanna Segal, Becca Feldman, Brigid Hardiman, and Jess Kaller for helping to make this a successful event as well as Artemide, Contardi, FLOS, Foscarini, and Juniper that gave so generously of their time and talents and contributed incredible gifts and prizes.
