DeSilva+Phillips’ 11th Annual Dealmakers Summit
Date: Thursday, February 7, 2013.
Time: 8:00am – 6:00pm
Location: New World Stages at 340 West 50th Street, New York City
After a decade at the Pierre Hotel, DeSilva+Phillips relocated this year’s Summit to the new and exciting venue at 340 West 50th Street – New World Stages. We were excited to start fresh with new and engaging content.
The Dealmakers Summit is an “invitation only” event for the top dealmakers in the Media, Advertising & Marketing Services, Information Services, Education and Healthcare Communications Industries.
For background on the event we are proud to share the full agenda and attendee list in the Downloads section on the right side of this page. You can also see information on last year’s Dealmakers Summit 2012 as well as photographs of the event. Video highlights are available below.
What was New at the 2013 Dealmakers Summit?
A lot changed at this year’s event, but the things that make the Summit such a worthwhile event, such as the great content and unparalleled networking opportunities, of course remain unchanged.
In addition to the change of venue to New World Stages, we also relaxed the dress code to business casual and reduced the price of admission to $695. As always, the Summit was run on a non-profit basis, and a donation was made to the Columbia University School of Journalism.
