Hi <<First Name>>,

Welcome! This month, we're sharing resources to help you make the most of this busy time of year - starting with this newsletter!

This said, just checking out this newsletter is often a great place to start - do whatever suits you best, and let our team know if we could be of any assistance.

Entering a Season of Celebration with EA NYC

Appreciation
We're incredibly grateful to Arthur for leading the (wonderful) team in pulling off NYC's first EAGx conference this August. You can find the recently released conference retrospective here to see our take on how it went (TL;DR: it was great!).

In September, we also celebrated the 40th anniversary of the day the world did not end. Because of this, we are able to look forward to more EA NYC celebrations yet to come in 2023!

Anticipation
In addition to a number of really excellent events coming up (check out the *almost* complete list below), we'll have two more general themes of celebration this year:

Giving Tuesday is a global holiday celebrating the power of generosity. This year, we'll have speakers and panels from NY and abroad sharing how they think about using their resources to help others. And of course, we'll also have a special community celebration on Giving Tuesday (November 28th) itself!

December marks the end of 2023 and a new chapter for 2024. While we plan on having many more events in the new year, we wanted to provide space for the community to come together and mingle as the days grow colder and the nights grow longer. We anticipate our Community End of Year Celebration to be the largest event of the quarter, and we encourage you to sign up and remind your friends to do the same.
