OCTOBER 15, 2024 THE TIMES CENTER, NYC

A full-day discussion about successful media companies, innovative business models, and where things are headed going into next year.

About the Summit

The AMO Summit launched last year to offer media operators a place to learn and network away from the latest buzzwords and pivots. Instead, 130 people joined us in New York City to discuss smart business models, unique media companies, and the state of media M&A.

We’re back again this year with even more of what you’ve come to expect from A Media Operator. Now at The Times Center, we will feature a diverse and dynamic roster of speakers and panelists who will share how they have built their media companies with sustainable business models.

But the event is also about what happens outside of the theater. There will be ample opportunity to network, with long breaks between content, a robust lunch, and a cocktail hour after the event is over. You will walk away having met other great media operators.

Who should attend?

Founders & Executives

You will learn from innovative media operators and meet others who are building sustainable media companies.

Bankers & PE

There are numerous media companies there, many who may one day want to sell. Meet them before they’re ready.

Vendors

The room will be full of great media companies, but there is limited space for vendors looking to sell their products.
