NYWICI 2026 Communications Career Bootcamp
Registration is Open: November 12, 2026 | Fordham University, McNally Amphitheater
The NYWICI Communications Career BootCamp returns in 2026, bringing together students, recent graduates, emerging professionals, and industry leaders for an inspiring half-day of learning, networking, and career development.
Following the success of our sold-out events at Spotify NYC in 2024 and 2025, this highly anticipated program continues to serve as a launchpad for the next generation of communications professionals. Attendees will gain insider perspectives from leaders across media, marketing, advertising, public relations, corporate communications, entertainment, and beyond through dynamic panel discussions, interactive workshops, and candid career conversations.
Whether you’re exploring career paths, building your professional network, developing new skills, or seeking advice from those who have successfully navigated the industry, the Communications Career Conference is designed to provide practical tools, meaningful connections, and the confidence to take your next career step.
