Glossy’s events are getting a refresh under the leadership of Liz Pitonyak, who joined the company as general manager of events in December.
Pitonyak joined Digiday Media with 15 years of experience in event strategy and partnership, after most recently directing event initiatives at Adweek and at Forbes. She will oversee events for Digiday, Glossy, Modern Retail and WorkLife.
“I have dedicated my career to creating transformative experiences that resonate with target audiences, amplify brand stories and deliver measurable business outcomes,” Pitonyak said.
Pitonyak said her goal for 2025 was to create events to “inform, inspire and foster meaningful connections.” Among those changes will be key programming initiatives to reimagine event formats, from working group discussions to immersive Q&A sessions.
Pitonyak said she will remain laser-focused on driving depth in interactions throughout Digiday Media’s events, introducing AI-powered matchmaking and gamification in networking. And that depth will be applied to who the company puts on stage.
“With a strong history of impressive events behind her, Liz will be an incredible partner in reimagining our industry-leading summits, executive dinners and more for the new era our industries are entering – building on the foundation of clear value they’ve offered our attendees and sponsors for years to reach new heights and serve enduring and evolving needs,” said David Amrani, Digiday Media’s CEO.
Pitonyak will kick off her refreshed approach to events with Glossy in June with the Glossy E-Commerce Summit in Miami. Learn more about Digiday Media’s upcoming events.
