The event took place at the New York office of ArentFox Schiff LLP. The discussion was moderated by Lindsay Korotkin, a partner at ArentFox Schiff who advises companies and creators in the fashion and retail, art, media and entertainment, and technology industries. Panelists included Yancey Strickler, co-founder of Kickstarter and creator of the A-Corp prototype; Sarah Darlene, a Denver-based multidisciplinary artist and advocate for the A-Corp model; and Erica Roque, co-leader of the Fashion & Retail group at ArentFox Schiff.
