The Merritt Summit Series 2021

The Merritt Committee is excited to present the next installment of the Summit Series:

PIVOT

Many people in our industry have made the choice to pivot in their professional lives and careers. This has meant broadening to other forms of arts and entertainment, creating new opportunities and business models, or shifting to completely different industries. We are inviting everyone to share their journeys, support each other and connect as we navigate the challenging reality of shifting to exciting new prospects.

The event is Monday March 29th, from 6pm to 8pm CDT.
