The world keeps what you made.
Field Notes keeps who you are.
Be a founding partner of the first event of its kind.
Field Notes LIVE: The Human Record is the answer — a one-day experience that holds ideas, stories, and live performance in the same room at the same time.
150 people in a room at Bronxlandia — a former rail station in Hunts Point — for one day that changes the way every person there thinks about the work. Your brand is part of what made it possible.
Ideas presented with time, space, and an audience ready to receive them.
Real people. Real stakes. The invisible labor that shaped everything — finally on record.
A room charged, present, and alive. 150 people who came ready to be changed by it.
Documentary photography from the archive on display. The work that was never seen — visible.
The energy of a concert.
The depth of a summit.
One day. One room. The archive grows.
150 people who shape culture, community, and commerce across New York City — founders, executives, artists, educators, and community members deliberately diverse across industry, background, and borough.
They influence budgets, hiring, culture, and narrative. They leave ready to act — to collaborate, to fund, to tell someone.
Fifteen years making rooms work.
In March 2025, Lindsey Lerner launched Field Notes from the Work (and the Wild) — a living archive of the invisible labor that shapes every career, every organization, every life. Fifty sessions in, it is ready for a room.
Field Notes LIVE is a first-of-its-kind event from someone who has spent fifteen years producing them at every scale.
- Tour manager for 10 years — Vans Warped Tour, hip hop to K-Pop
- Multi-million dollar offsites and retreats
- Two-time TEDx speaker, 2026
- Aperture Connect Council
“You got us there so quickly — so deep in the experience of being human — that it would transform the way a team works together when they stepped out of the room.”
Stephan Thieringer, Founder, Human Innovation Garage
“Since the moment I met Lindsey, I’ll go wherever she invites me. There’s just an energetic thing — this is someone who understands people very clearly.”
Marci Wolfish, UX Strategist + Lead Facilitator, Reading Rhythms
The room, in session.
Field Notes from the Work (and the Wild) lives beyond this room.
The archive publishes bi-weekly on Substack, runs actively on LinkedIn, and reaches a mailing list built over years of consistent, high-trust work. Every partner in Field Notes LIVE steps into that reach — before the event, on the day, and in everything that follows.
The room holds 150 people. The platform reaches far beyond it.
“Humans of New York captures the what. Field Notes captures the how.”
Indra Klavins, Host, The Messy Middle Matters
Field Notes LIVE is seeking founding partners.
We are looking for organizations that can see themselves in this work — whether that's arts and culture, community development, workforce equity, or the civic and creative life of New York City. If the work underneath the work matters to you, there is a place for you here.
The world keeps what you made.
Field Notes keeps who you are.
