“ALL ABOUT DAD” at the upcoming Brooklyn BabyFest

April 10, 2013 by City Dads Group

Spring is upon us and that means some of the largest New York Metro area baby shows, expos, and festivals are on the horizon!  Even more exciting, is that these shows that have traditionally marketed to mothers are embracing dads and ever so slightly becoming more parent-centric.  We are proud to be integrated in the midst of this shift.

In this case, Town Square and Motherburg NYC have joined forces to create a family friendly, unique, and first of its kind Brooklyn BabyFEST!  They “plan to draw 800-1000 engaged parents from Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. With space for over 65 exhibitors and sponsors, attendees will also have an opportunity to hear keynote speakers, expert panel discussions, join children’s activities, and participate in hands-on demonstrations.”  

 

We’re excited to have a strong presence at the BabyFest by hosting a table to be an inviting destination for new and expectant dads as well as participating on a progressive panel surrounding modern fatherhood.  Here are some details about the panel:

 
ALL ABOUT DAD – the PANEL
Hosted by Kindling Quarterly’s David Michael Perez this panel discussion includes Kristian Orozco (The Boyhood Project), Matt Schneider & Lance Somerfeld, (NYC Dads Group). Around the world and particularly here in NYC & Brooklyn, the way men approach care giving and the identity of fatherhood is rapidly changing for a variety of reasons – financial, political, and personal. Yet beyond these changes, a dialogue about the cultural importance of fatherhood is long over due. In this panel we will discuss this reason for this historic absence and what it means to be a generous and creative father today.
 
We believe the Brooklyn BabyFest is a new and unique experience and wanted to place it on your radar.  Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 27th – We hope to see some of you at the event!
