About us:

SWARM by Culture Hive Media Group was born out of a desire to reignite the energy and excitement within the adtech industry. We recognized the need for a space where professionals could come together, not just to exchange ideas, but to genuinely connect with one another on a human level. SWARM is more than just a meetup; it’s a movement to restore the human element to adtech, ensuring that our industry remains vibrant, connected, and innovative.

Join us for an evening of networking and fun at the SWARM Programmatic IO NY Happy Hour event. Connect with fellow adtech industry professionals, share ideas, and unwind after a day of work. This in-person event is the perfect opportunity to mingle, relax, and enjoy some canapes & drinks. Don't miss out on this chance to expand your network and have a great time!
