CELEBRATING BLACK WOMEN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

As Black Girl Magic continues to grow and be embodied in our community, we are able to see women who look like us in roles that historically have left us out or underrepresented. The music industry is no different. With Business + Beats + Black Girl Magic we hope to highlight the journeys of women in the music industry and showcase the diversity of careers and career paths while also providing insight into the role sisterhood plays and has played in having a seat at the table.

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

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. 

2:00pm

Understand

Lightning Talks on Business Goals

Learn to understand and tackle problems from many different points of view. Discussions should highlight business goals, success metrics, technical capabilities and potential challenges, and relevant user research.
