Judging by the very first techno chart of 2023, the harder, faster variety is set to have a breakout year. It’s slowly been bubbling up but if there was a year for the explosion, this year appears to be it.
Create & Cultivate are returning to the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs after a two year break with their ever so popular Desert Pop-Up. Like past years, C&C will be bringing back an afternoon of snacks and refreshments from 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm, a panel discussion moderated by Masani Musa and featuring TikTok Achieng Agutu, Christine Le and actress Alyson Stoner, to discuss the rise of TikTok and how creators are shaping the platform from 1:15 pm – 2:00 pm, a keynote announcement by Brittany Xavier from 2:00 pm – 2:30 pm, with Happy Hour cocktails to till the end of the event.
Past years have always been a ton of fun with elaborate and beautiful photo booths, refreshing cocktails by the pool, pop-up shops with the latest fashion trends and delicious snacks like yogurt parfaits with granola and fresh fruit.
Doors open at 12:00 pm, with the first 200 guests to receive a gift bag worth $500, so don’t be late!
All in attendance must provide proof of full vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test for entry. Masks will be required (and provided!).
