NEW YORK (December
16th, 2013) – AGENDA, the leading forum for action sports, surf,
streetwear, lifestyle and sneaker industries, is hosting its second
installment of AGENDA Emerge—the highly curated creative and brand
building conference featuring some of today’s most iconic creative
directors, innovators and industry leaders in street culture, sharing
firsthand their industry insights and business intricacies.
In July of 2013,
AGENDA Emerge made its debut at the prestigious AGENDA show filling the
entire amphitheater to capacity with industry heads, emerging brands and
media. Coming back for its second installment with bicoastal locations,
AGENDA Emerge will hold two events this Winter 2014. The first event
will be held at AGENDA Long Beach on January 8th in the Center Theater
at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center. Featuring a new
talented panel from founders of Zumiez, Karmaloop and HUF.
One of the industry
veterans speaking will be Tom Campion, co-founder of Zumiez as well as
the Campion Foundation, also serving on the board of Alaska Wilderness
League and Conservation Northwest, and is a producer of To The Arctic
with MacGillivray Freeman Films.
Also speaking are
Greg Selkoe, CEO and owner of the largest global streetwear retailer
Karmaloop and and most recently, awarded the Ernst & Young
Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and Keith Hufnagel, influential
skate/streetwear leader and founder of leading skate-lifestyle label
HUF.
AGENDA Emerge heads
to New York for the second event, held at the Jack H. Skirball Center
for the Performing Arts, the premier venue for the presentation of
cultural and performing arts events for New York University and lower
Manhattan on January 23rd. Back by overwhelming demand, the inaugural
line-up heads to the East Coast for an encore performance. Featuring
notable streetwear brand founders, Marc Eckô of Eckô, Bobby Kim of the
Hundreds, Jeff Ng of Staple Designs and Johnny Earle, aka Johnny
Cupcakes, both AGENDA Emerge events will be hosted by Jon Buscemi.
“The
importance of bringing an educational platform like AGENDA Emerge to
the public serves as a tool to foster growth for the next generation of
our industry’s creatives and entrepreneurs,” said AGENDA Founder Aaron
Levant. “Going head to head with the largest and well-established
fashion industry shows and watching these brands reach success, knowing
that we had a hand in it, has been a humbling journey. This is a great
opportunity for the new generation of designers to learn from seasoned
experts who have turned their brands into household names.”
The event is powered by Group Y.
