NEW YORK, NY — December 6, 2025 — This winter, a business event unlike the typical corporate gatherings is coming to Manhattan. But don’t expect pyrotechnics—expect purpose.
Hosted at 8 W 38th Street, Floor 3, the 1% Event will take place in New York on Saturday, December 6. The event is designed to inspire, educate, and connect entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders with actionable insights. It aims to offer something different from typical conferences by providing a blend of raw storytelling, practical business advice, and an engaging media-driven experience.
A Business Event With New York Energy
This event won’t resemble a ballroom filled with PowerPoints and pitch decks. Instead, it’s a high-impact experience meant to reflect the energy of the attendees.
- Live music from a DJ will keep the atmosphere energized throughout the day.
- Red carpet media stations will capture interviews and behind-the-scenes moments.
- Short, dynamic talks and panel sessions aim to deliver actionable insight without unnecessary fluff.
The overall vibe is youthful, bold, and human-centric, intended to feel more like a creative summit than a formal business event. Attendees are encouraged to engage in real conversations about what it truly takes to succeed, without the typical corporate formalities.

Date: Saturday, December 6, 2025
Doors Open: 11:00 AM
Networking + Red Carpet Media: 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Main Event (Speakers & Panels): 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM
The day kicks off from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM with networking and media opportunities. Attendees can connect with fellow creators, take part in red carpet photos, and get featured in live interviews and content created at the event.
From 1:00 PM, the event moves into speaker sessions. Each segment is short, candid, and filled with personal insights—no pre-packaged advice or upselling. Speakers will include brand builders, content creators, and self-made entrepreneurs who have grown their businesses from the ground up and are open about the challenges they faced.
Casual Format, High Impact
There’s no dress code—attendees are free to wear what they feel most confident in, whether that’s streetwear or business casual. The energy of the event is informal yet professional. The goal isn’t about appearance; it’s about what attendees are willing to learn, contribute, and act upon.
“This isn’t about polished perfection. It’s about progress and perspective,” says Dmytro Andryeyev, co-founder of Project Future First. “We created this for people who are still figuring things out without a roadmap.”
A Movement with Meaning
The 1% Event goes beyond offering a single day of insight; it serves as a means to support a larger cause.
All proceeds will benefit Project Future First, a nonprofit that mentors at-risk youth through entrepreneurship and mindset education. The organization runs in-school programs, workshops, and mentorship initiatives that provide underserved students with exposure to business thinking and creative opportunities. Past events have helped fund scholarships, classroom resources, and student-led startup projects. The NYC edition of the event aims to expand the nonprofit’s reach into more schools across the Northeast.
Built for the Ones Who Started from Scratch
This event is geared toward those who are not handed success but instead are building it themselves. Whether you’re a student, side hustler, or full-time entrepreneur, the 1% Event provides access to stories, strategies, and a community that many have had to learn on their own. The crowd is diverse, ambitious, and united by one thing: a desire for something beyond average.
People will be traveling from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and beyond to attend—and they will leave with new clarity and ideas.

Closing Thought
In a city full of distractions, the 1% Event offers a space for clarity. In a business world often dominated by ego, it offers authenticity. It’s not a seminar. It’s not a performance. It’s a platform for the stories that need to be shared and the people who are ready to build something greater than themselves.
December 6. NYC.
