Power Networking at El Cholo in Pasadena
The primary activity of the night on Wednesday March 9th at the TEA Western Division’s in-person mixer at El Cholo in Pasadena was power networking. With margaritas flowing {see sponsors below}, beer and wine readily available, as well as non-adult beverages, it was clear this mixer was the first of 2022. It proved without a shadow of a doubt that in-person mixers are back! It had people musing, “What Pandemic?”
Networking with Board Members - Part 1

It was probably the closest thing to in-person networking via video call possible… a virtual tango and lively exchange filled with words of wisdom, shop talk and insight on how studios move projects from concept to development.
