Pollen is an evening for creative women in New York.
We have one rule:
leave having spoken to someone you didn't know when you arrived.
Each Pollen brings together women from different disciplines, industries, roles and stages of their lives and careers, with plenty of time to actually hang out, have a glass of something, and talk to each other.
At the heart of each evening is a fireside conversation with a guest whose work, career or way of thinking we're curious about. So far, we've heard from Emmy-winning documentary filmmakers, photographers, creative directors, screenwriters, brand strategists, executive producers and authors, to name a few. We chat about their work, their play, the books they like and what they're currently learning about life.
Then, we just hang out and spend time together.
Join the Pollen list to hear about upcoming gatherings, fireside guests and other Pollen news.
