GRYND: The ultimate Y youth month gathering for play and creation

SA’s iconic youth radio station Y, the plug to all things young, fresh and on-trend, is set to shake up Youth Month with its exciting new platform GRYND.

As an innovative outlet for play and exploration, GRYND is a conference created to help young people face the current economic challenges head-on by enabling the conversion of multiple income streams and advising how to creatively upscale ‘side hustles’ through various digital platforms.

With a series of high-impact masterclasses and panel discussions, the gathering at Atlas Studios on 24 June promises to be the ultimate ‘meetup’ experience. Curated for young people, it promises to be a space where they can share and acquire knowledge from each other. It will be a space to spark meaningful conversations around entrepreneurship in a digital age through the lens of successful and creative young professionals, culture narrators and social media leaders.
