About this Event
For decades, building a media career meant getting someone else's permission first.
A network. A studio. A distributor. A label. The gatekeepers decided who got a platform, who got a budget, and who got an audience.
That model is breaking down — and the people who built careers inside it are the ones leading the charge out.
This month's Altera meetup features a former national journalist who has been at the center of that shift. She's business partners with Joy Reid. She's interviewed Don Lemon about how he used technology to build an independent media empire after leaving MSNBC. And she's been advocating inside newsrooms and production houses for years that the future belongs to creators who learn the tools and own their distribution.
Her story is your story — told from a different seat at the same table.
What's happening May 20:
→ A real conversation about what the transition from traditional media to AI-native independent production actually looks like → What Don Lemon, Joy Reid, and the new wave of independent creators are doing that studios and networks aren't → How to use AI tools to become your own broadcaster, your own studio, your own distribution network → Mini workshops at the end — you leave having built something, not just heard something → Food and drinks provided — networking starts at the door
Who this is for: Filmmakers, directors, producers, journalists, content creators, and media professionals who built careers the traditional way and are ready to understand what comes next. If you've ever felt like the gatekeepers were the only thing standing between your work and your audience — this is your room.
This is a paid event. Spots are limited intentionally. The room stays small so the conversation stays real.
Doors open at 6:00 PM. Program starts at 6:30. Workshops close out the night.
Your seat is waiting. Grab it before someone else does.
