92nd Street Y To Hold Virtual Event On Life After Coronavirus

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — The 92nd Street Y may be shut down by the new coronavirus, but that hasn't prevented the Upper East Side cultural institution from gathering a lineup of speakers from politics, the art world and journalism for a virtual conference on life after the virus' outbreak.

The conference, called the "XYZ Summit" for its focus on the three generations, will feature presentations and discussions on political leadership in times of crisis, employment opportunities that may come out of the coronavirus crisis and stress relief. Speakers include New Jersey Sen. Corey Booker, model Emily Ratajkowski and Ramy Youseff creator of the acclaimed comedy series "Ramy."

"Tailored to our world’s younger generations, this free virtual summit not only connects people with industry leaders, but also offers the opportunity to be part of the conversation and take an active role in building a stronger community and world moving forward," a preview for the event reads.

The virtual conference will be held on May 3, the 92nd Street Y announced this week. Anyone interested in watching the summit can sign up in advance on the 92nd Street Y's website.

Sponsors of the virtual summit include JP Morgan, United Airlines, VOX and New York Magazine.
