LAUNCH 2 Has Landed! – The Premier Networking Mixer for the Film,TV & Media Industry

With the added buzz building from the first LAUNCH in February at the Helipad, LAUNCH 2 landed with around 250 creatives coming together for one night of networking fun.   LAUNCH 2 sported a new venue with an open air registration at Indochine’s Cocoon Bar + Supperclub at Clark Quay.  The Vibe was happening from the moment attendees registered and walked the ‘Pink Carpet’ and got their photos snapped in front of the new look ‘Launch’ backdrop.  Many were then caught chatting to camera with host Steve Lai, the new face of ESPN Star sports.

Once inside the excitement of creatives coming together for one night to connect was electric. It was a great night with many catching up with work colleagues and of course making new connections whilst enjoying the great atmosphere and music by the specially selected local musicians –   Yelyn and Crystal, Frances Maria Lee & Marcus Lye (with Joshua Chew)

Loads of great Prizes were given away from all the wonderful sponsors who supported the event. Old friendships were rekindled, new friends were made, collaborations set in motion.  It was as one stated an ‘epic’ evening enjoyed by all.

Here’s some of the feedback (more to come) from those that Attended Launch 2:

“ Thanks so much for last Thursday. It was a great, and very useful evening. I was most impressed with the turnout, well beyond my expectations. I came away with a stack of cards from people within the media industry
