Politicians schmooze at C&S events

Once upon a time, people gathered in person to celebrate the influential leaders on City & State’s power lists.

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams spoke at a Brooklyn Power 100 event in 2019.

Future Gov. Kathy Hochul spoke at the Above & Beyond event in 2018. State Attorney General Letitia James spoke at a Women Power 100 event in 2018.

New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams addressed the 40 Under 40 crowd in 2019.

New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson at a Pride Power 100 event in 2019. City & State’s spirited coverage of New York’s political landscape follows the rollercoaster of ups and downs. Most importantly, City & State’s journalists bring home what government means to New Yorkers. The First Read is one of my first stops in the morning and Winners & Losers (is) one of my last at the end of the week. Thanks for keeping alive a tradition of professional political journalism and helping to keep public officials on our toes and accountable to the people we serve. Congratulations to City & State on 15 years and best wishes for many, many more.

I want to offer my congratulations to City & State and its award-winning team as they celebrate their 15th anniversary. For 15 years, City & State has delivered insightful coverage and commentary about the complex dynamics of New York state’s politics.

Your publication continues to foster important conversations about the policy and political landscape impacting New Yorkers.

As a policymaker, I strongly believe in the importance of a reliable, independent and inquisitive press, and without a doubt, City & State fills that role. Best wishes to City & State on this joyful occasion, and I hope you celebrate many more anniversaries.

CITY & STATE’S EVENTS AND SALES TEAMS

Former Gov. David Paterson addressed the 50 Over 50 honorees in 2020.

City & State's events have been growing steadily over the past few years. Prior to the coronavirus pandemic, we put on full-day policy events covering the biggest topics in New York, featuring government leaders from across the city and state. We also have networking celebrations coinciding with our power lists based on diversity, industry and location. In April 2020, we pivoted with ease to virtual events. We hope to come back to live events when New York is safe and ready. We could not have achieved what we did without the tireless efforts of our events team, whom I would like to thank and introduce:

Alexis Arsenault, Events, Marketing & PR Manager Amanda Cortez, Events Coordinator

I also want to express my gratitude and introduce our sales team:

Scott Augustine, Account Executive Jim Katocin, Vice President of Advertising Danielle Koza, Vice President of Business Development Cydney McQuillan-Grace, Account Executive Garth McKee, Sales Assistant

We look forward to seeing you in person in 2022! – Lissa Blake, Events and Sales Director
