MediaLeaders was founded in 2008 by Josh Ochs and the group consists of thousands of professionals nationwide working in marketing, advertising, technology and social media. We thrive on meeting new people and making lasting connections that can lead to future business/friendships/projects.
Currently we operate our events in 18 cities, 4 countries and 3 languages.
Our goal is to create a fun atmosphere at great venues where quality people are mixing and meeting like-minded individuals. We charge a small fee to cover venue and marketing costs and thereby we make sure our attendees are serious about meeting fellow professionals. Our events gather anywhere from 50-200 people and all are interested in talking about cutting edge ways to perform better in their high-performance jobs…
