Guild Hall in East Hampton presents the launch of The Innovators Talk Show, a new conversation series spotlighting the business and cultural leaders who are reshaping their industries and doing game-changing work. This initiative is presented as part of Guild Hall’s Community Pillars, a business membership that supports the cultural and economic fabric of our region.
The inaugural event takes place on Friday, October 17, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM and promises to be a generative evening of ideas and networking. For Episode 1, Andrea Grover will sit down with Malcolm Carfrae, Founder and Principal of Carfrae Consulting and former Head of Communications at Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren, for an in-depth conversation on creativity, strategy, and the evolving landscape of amplifying brands.
Carfrae is one of the most respected voices in global communications. With a career spanning two decades at the helm of world-renowned brands, he now advises clients across fashion, luxury, retail, and hospitality on bespoke strategies that drive global recognition and cultural relevance.
Andrea Grover, a pioneering curator and nonprofit arts leader with over 25 years of experience, brings a unique perspective to the series. As Executive Director of Guild Hall since 2016, she has led a transformative campus renovation and championed forward-thinking projects and interdisciplinary programming.
“This series is about celebrating growth and evolution in business and staying relevant in a rapidly evolving environment,” said Andrea Grover. “We want to spark conversations that are as relevant to the East End as they are to the global stage.”
Attendees are invited to a post-talk reception to connect with business owners, entrepreneurs, and community members.
Tickets are $20 and $15 for Guild Hall Members. Visit guildhall.org.
