Re:Frame 2025 Conference

Re:Frame 2025

A one-day experience for entertainment marketers and creative professionals navigating career transitions.

Over the past year, we’ve seen unprecedented change across the industry. Roles eliminated. Teams restructured. Talented people left wondering what’s next. But here’s the truth: the work didn’t end, it shifted. And now, so must we. That’s why we’re launching RE:FRAME. Not just a conference, but a reset.

• Real conversations about where the industry is headed
• Tools to help you rediscover your voice and reposition your value
• A community of peers who get it—and are moving forward together.

Whether you’re in between roles, exploring new paths, or simply asking bigger questions, RE:FRAME is for you. Let’s reframe what’s next—together.

Info: Arrive early to check in, grab coffee, and connect with fellow attendees before the program kicks off.

Info: We’re here for one reason: to connect ideas, opportunities, and people who can help each other move forward. Steve will kick things off with the story behind RE:FRAME, a snapshot of the day ahead, and a challenge to meet at least five new people who could help shape your next move.

Info: An honest exploration of how the entertainment industry has evolved—and what that means for marketers navigating change. The speaker will reflect on the current landscape, share personal experiences of adaptation, and offer a roadmap for staying relevant and inspired.

Info: A candid conversation with senior entertainment marketing leaders who are in the midst of career transition. These are the CMOs, SVPs, and creative leads who have shaped campaigns for the world’s biggest properties and are now navigating a shifting industry, exploring new opportunities, and redefining their professional identities in real time. They’ll share how they’re approaching change, what’s keeping them optimistic, and the strategies they’re using to tap their networks and stay in motion.

Info: Reconnect with the creative DNA that’s been behind your career all along. Through exercises and peer feedback, participants will surface the throughline in their work and learn how to express it in ways that spark new opportunities.

Info: Learn how to translate entertainment expertise into language and formats that resonate with hiring managers in tech, gaming, experiential, and brand-side roles without starting from scratch.

Info: Take 90 minutes to grab lunch from our external food trucks or neighborhood cafés (available for purchase), and join topic-led tables to dive into conversations on freelance futures, cross-industry pivots, brand-side careers, and more.

Info: Learn how to position yourself for industries like tech, gaming, and experiential. Panelists dissect real-world examples of pitches, resumes, and conversations - showing exactly what works (and what doesn’t) when crossing over.

Info: Map, activate, and expand your spheres of influence without coming across as transactional. You’ll leave with a clear plan to reconnect and reengage.

Info: Whether you’re selling yourself, your ideas, or your vision, you’re in sales. Learn the art of persuasion, positioning, and closing in a way that feels authentic.

Info: Reframe your professional identity so you’re defined by your potential, not just your past. Craft a personal positioning statement that reflects your full range of capabilities and future goals.

Info: An energizing and forward-looking talk that sends attendees into the final moments of the day feeling inspired, empowered, and ready to connect. The keynote challenges participants to see possibility in the people and ideas they’ve encountered, offering big-picture perspective on the opportunities ahead - inside and outside of entertainment.

Info: Steve Kazanjian wraps the day with distilled takeaways and a roadmap for turning insights into action.

Info: Drinks and big ideas. Join us to unwind, share stories, and connect with the kind of people who get it. You never know who you’ll meet or what doors it might open.
