RSVP POLICY
PluggedIn is an exclusive full day gathering, bringing together handpicked media, advertising, social media and mobile executives and gatekeepers. The event is designed to facilitate knowledge sharing, relationship building and deal making.
PluggedIn will take place at the Sy Syms School of Business in Manhattan on January 12th, 2010.
PluggedIn is run by Founders Roundtable, a digital media networking company focused on leveraging relationships to help start-ups succeed. The reason for PluggedIn is the frustration with typical industry conferences which are overcrowded and lack the intimacy and cut-to-the-chase attitude required for in-depth dialogue and true relationship building.
Participants often find themselves listening to rehashed panel discussions, working the wrong people in the room and generally putting invaluable time to insignificant use. PluggedIn is the polar opposite by keeping a closed circle and offering a laid back, and strictly off the record environment, we aim to cultivate substantive and concrete dialogue between a select group of decision makers and help make things happen.
THE VENUES
PluggedIn will be held at two locations:
MORNING
The Schottenstein Cultural Center 239241 East 34th Street

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
