The At Edge event in Minneapolis took place last week and having just invested in a membership  I flew out there to represent the Eszter and David brand,  meeting our new rep Kim Knight, from Kim Knight Represents for a whirlwind tour of the ‘City of Lakes!’ With a wake up time of 4am on the way out and a stop-over in Phoenix (yes! ridiculous I know but it was a very late call to go!) I arrived just in time for the event and Kim and I high tailed it to Windows on Minnesota, on the 50th Floor of the Marquette Hotel in downtown Minneapolis to do our thing.

The event was beautifully produced: the view was spectacular, excellent food and drink flowed freely and our three meetings were a pleasure and, I would like to think, a success. We met with RANDY GERDA,  VP Assoc Creative Director at Campbell Mithun, CARMEN ROSELLES, Creative Resource Specialist at Periscope and SANDY BOSS FEBBO, Exec Art Producer at Carmichael Lynch. What makes this event so special is that everyone is relaxed, fed and ‘watered’ , the buyersand art directors are happy to be there, and you get to put a face to the name of  all those photographers who’s work you’ve admired for so long (via the dreaded name tag!)

Following the event we rounded off the day with an incredible dinner at The Bachelor Farmer with photo producer and all round NICE GUY Dave Lewis who shared his knowledge of the industry as well as some of his contacts with us, and pointed us in some interesting directions. Thanks Dave, a night I will never forget!! Seriously hope we get to work with your talent somewhere down the line!!
