While this year’s Financial Follies will be free of charge, any financial contributions will be greatly appreciated.

7:30 p.m.: 2020 Financial Follies Show

8:00 p.m.-“ish”: Post Show Cocktail Party Socializing

Once you log into Zoom you’ll be randomly assigned to a breakout room where you can socialize and network with other journalists, public relations specialists and financial industry professionals and you will have the ability to see who is in each breakout room and freely move yourself between rooms.

Following the cocktail hour, all attendees will be brought back to the main Zoom room where there will be a short message from this year’s NYFWA president, followed by the presentation of this year’s show and all the videos, tweets and contributions that comprise it.
