THE Network Effect is simply enhanced with the plethora of networking events we have scattered around CJU.

These are great ways to start a conversation with new contacts and the place to continue your one-on-one meetings.

THE CJUniverse

THE CJUniverse

We’re so excited about the networking opportunities of CJU, we wanted to start immediately. As soon as you register you can now join an online community called THE CJUniverse. From here you can set up a profile, arrange meetings, find people with similar interests, and schedule your CJU agenda. Imagine how successful you’ll be at CJU when you’ve already had months to prep!

THE Zone

THE Zone

There never seems to be enough room for meetings during CJU downtime. And how do you meet up with a new contact when you don’t know what they look like? Well, we’re making it even easier to schedule and have meetings in our new meetings space: THE Zone. Here you can check in, grab a table, find your contacts, and enjoy food and beverage while you do business.

THE Expo

THE Expo

There is no better place to put THE Network Effect into action than at THE Expo. On Day One of CJU we put advertisers, publishers, agencies and CJ divisions together for the ultimate “meet and greet.” This year’s Expo continues with the momentum of last year, including more vendors, food, and even cocktails.

THE Beach Party

THE Beach Party

We’ve finally done it. After years of looking at the beach, we will finally be on it. So walk right across the beach for our Welcome Reception: THE Beach Party. Grab your flip flops, and soak up the negative ions. We’ll have all the great things from previous year’s parties – drinks, entertainment, and food – just add sand.

THE Cocktail Hour and 1/2

THE Cocktail Hour & 1/2

After 2 full days of hard work, the Cocktail Hour & 1/2 on Wednesday gives you a much needed break to take in the beauty of Santa Barbara. Set on the grassy lawn at Fess Parker with the ocean just a stone’s throw away, this is the perfect place to wind down, have some signature cocktails, and enjoy the company of your fellow marketers.
