 2008 Annual Investor Event:

 

Dear Friend,

 

Please mark your calendar and plan to join us for our Final Annual Investor Event of 2008 from 5:00 pm Monday, October 28 to Thursday, October 30th in New York, New York.  We hope to shed some light into the sectors of Publishing, Fine Arts and Fashion, and discuss different opportunities to invest strategically in these areas of culture. This event will emphasize conversation over presentation as we explore the many ways these distinct cultural mediums are increasingly shaping worldview and the identity of this generation. 

 

This event is sure to be interactive as we browse Fine Art at the Dillon Gallery in Chelsea, experience the powerful role of story as we dine near the New York Public Library, and hear from fashion executives who seek to shape the industry in America’s city of fashion. We look forward to introducing you to some of our favorite supermodels, authors, artists, editors and designers, and to challenge your own involvement in impacting these sectors.
