Please email hank.winnicki@newsday.com if you plan to attend some or all of the sessions or if you have any questions about the event.

We had a strong showing at last year’s meetings, and I’m hoping we can build on that trend.

On the record/off the record: The meetings are on the record, with a few exceptions.

  • Discussions about the industry and challenges we both face are the primary purpose of these meetings and those discussions have always been off the record. That remains true.

The subject can ask to go off the record at any point, like any interview.

Weather forecast:

  • Monday: Partly cloudy, high of 78 degrees, 24% chance of rain
  • Tuesday: Partly cloudy, high of 76 degrees, 24% change of rain
