Tribeca Film Festival

June 10th & 11th

We’re headed to NYC for two full days of programming during the Tribeca Film Festival.

June 10th is The Impact Lounge you know and love—with a musical twist. Set in a jazz club at the SOHO Grand Hotel and inspired by NYC culture, the day will feature conversations with filmmakers, artists, activists, and industry leaders chatting all things on the future of creative careers, the evolving relationship between brands and documentary filmmaking, AI as a tool for storytelling, the transformative power of art, and stories of care, belonging, and resilience. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, all-day refreshments, and stay for our closing reception with live music, cocktails, and canapés.

On June 11th, we’re partnering with The Muslim House® for a full day of conversations, comedy, community, and connection, bringing together Muslim storytellers and allies to explore culture, creativity, and representation in entertainment. Registration for June 11th is available exclusively to June 10th attendees—we’ll send a special registration link after you sign up for day one.

More speakers, programming, and surprises to be announced soon.
