PICNIC Goes New York
June 19th, 2009, posted by: Liz Keel
We're packing our bags and heading to the Big Apple! With the support of the Mayor of Amsterdam and several partner organizations, we will be hosting PICNIC Salon New York on Monday, 29 June 2009 in New York City. PICNIC Salon New York is associated with NY400: a series of special events and activities celebrating the enduring friendship between the Netherlands and the United States. This relationship now dates back 400 years, to when Henry Hudson arrived on the shores of what is now New York City, on the Dutch ship the Halve Maen (Half Moon).
PICNIC Salon New York is a gathering of world-class creatives, brand innovators, thought-leaders and city officials from both Amsterdam and New York. This high-level networking event is a unique opportunity to reinforce our cross-cultural relationships, make new contacts, and further creative and commercial collaboration between the two cities.
