1 Trick Pony: The Magic of Collaboration
A Digital Dynamic Duo

After seven years together at the interactive ad agency 1 Trick Pony, Director of Development John Blazek and Digital Creative Director Elijah Vargas have built a very unprofessional relationship. It’s truly crossed the line – they’ve locked minds in a tap dance of 1s and 0s to accomplish more than either could apart. Like Hall & Oates, Kid n’ Play, Bebop & Rocksteady – when these two team up it’s magic. For the first time ever, John and Elijah will condense the magic of collaboration into a 45-minute talk and Q/A to share with the world.

Join us on the rooftop Maken Studios, one of Philadelphia's newest creative communities. Q/A will be followed by music (from Adjacent), food and beverages (sponsored by Narragansett and Spodee). Enjoy the picturesque skyline view, or learn more about Maken Studios North with a guided tour. Party goes until 10:00, or whenever they throw us off the roof.
