AAJA New York Holiday Cocktail Reception
Join AAJA New York for our 2026 Holiday Cocktail Reception on Friday, December 4!
We’re bringing together AAJA-NY members and supporters for a festive evening of food, drinks, music, and networking as we celebrate another year of community, journalism, and connection.
With more than 500 members across the tri-state area, the New York chapter brings together journalists from national and local newsrooms, independent media, communications, and emerging journalists. Our holiday gala is one of the biggest gatherings of the year and a chance to reconnect with old friends, meet new people, and celebrate everything our community has accomplished in 2026.
Special thanks to our generous sponsors, ABC7 New York, New York University’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, and NYU Journalism Online, for making this event possible. We’re especially grateful that many of our sponsors will also be joining us in person to celebrate!
Your ticket includes delicious food, one complimentary drink, one raffle ticket (with additional tickets available for purchase on-site), and access to the evening’s festivities. Get ready for exciting raffle prizes, from exclusive collectibles and signed books to special gifts and surprises. You won’t want to miss your chance to win!
Proceeds from the event support AAJA-NY’s year-round programming, including professional development events, community gatherings, scholarships and fellowships for journalists, and other exclusive opportunities for our members.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
