About
PluggedIn NYC is a deal making gathering for digital media executives. We’re bringing together handpicked founders, gatekeepers and investors to candidly interact in a laid back setting and unlock the full value of doing business together.

Why Come?
Many industry conferences are overcrowded and lack the intimacy and cut-to-the-chase attitude required for in-depth dialogue and true relationship building. Executives 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, media-free 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.

Please note that we do not offer refunds on tickets sold. If you would like to transfer the tickets to another name please contact us at eli@foundersroundtbable.com.
