The Circuit is a New York based entertainment network founded in 2005. We realize that -- because we live in the greatest city on Earth -- it is often difficult to find the time and energy to meet with like-minded individuals on a regular basis. Therefore, The Circuit’s purpose is to promote and facilitate the meeting of top level professionals from the worlds of film, television, new media and publishing, via social events hosted around town.
 
Because the presence of the entertainment industry in NYC is only a fraction of our west coast counterpart’s, we feel it's important to embrace this intimacy by cultivating new and existing relationships with entertainment professionals.

The Circuit brings together leading members of New York's entertainment industry on a regular basis, in a fun, friendly, casual environment. These events create a relaxed atmosphere for executives to socialize with peers, while helping to facilitate interesting and exciting business opportunities with other professionals whom they may not have known and / or realized possess similar sensibilities as their own.

These sort of relationships are even more important today, as the content business becomes ever more multi-platform. As television becomes more and more like film, as more and more television writing and directing talent head to the big screen, as producers look to option more and more books and literature, and just about everyone is attempting to crack the prolific new media market, The Circuit is here to establish these connections now, at a time when our members are on the cusp of taking on leadership roles at their respective companies.

With a current subscriber list of almost 1500 prominent producers, directors, agents, managers, and executives, Circuit members represent tomorrow's media moguls, network heads, and studio presidents that will one day drive this industry.
