The mixer features industry experts and students with a background in entertainment business, film, acting, journalism in Global News, Warner Bros, Netflix, Branded to Film, Paramount, etc.
Later in the night, the program transitions into a 19+ afterparty at a separate venue. Inspired by the Cannes Film Festival, the afterparty will feature professional DJ sets, immersive visual effects, and a vibrant Y2K theme. Together, these events spotlight Kingston’s growing creative industries while fostering meaningful opportunities for networking, collaboration, and community engagement.
The afterparty is located close to downtown, and will be revealed after tickets have been bought. Although complimentary access with the ticket, admission is restricted to ages 19–25 due to the location being a student neighborhood. Valid student or government ID required at entry.
