“Another event idea that I really loved came from the inaugural Teen Vogue Summit. In an effort to make the content available to a wide range of people, the brand hosted a series of meet-ups in various cities, leading up to the summit in Los Angeles this past weekend. Upon entering the meet-ups, attendees were encouraged to 'grab a card, start a conversation' as an icebreaker. Questions included 'What would you do if you were not afraid?' and 'How do you practice self-acceptance in your life?' It was just a simple reminder of the power—and importance—of face-to-face events, and really helped set the tone for the events’ introspective and activism-focused vibe.” —Claire Hoffman, west coast bureau chief
