Group Y is ringing in a decade as first and largest collective of action sports and youth culture leaders in the U.S., with an ten year track record that includes organizing over 150 nationwide events, building a 50,000-strong online and live event community, and curating over 250 guest speakers nationwide including top entrepreneurs, executives, athletes and musicians, who all share a common talent: authentically engaging with youth culture.
Ryan Kingman, who launched Villager Coconut Water last week with an unprecedented 26 of the world’s top athlete-investors from the surfing, skateboarding and snowboarding industries, spoke at the event. Kingman discussed his 20-year path from Element team manager to Chief Marketing Officer of Stance during its meteoric rise, and finally to Villager where he’s working with the athletes to grow a community dedicated to health and wellness.
