SPEAKERS
Not Just For Women
“A women-centered event is not the same as a women-only event, which is meant to create a sense of empowerment and community in a male-dominated world. Game Changers, a women-centered event, deserves all of us showing up to celebrate the talent shaping the future of our industry. So, leave your office for a day, and abandon your inherent seat of privilege temporarily for a seat in forums of change. Then, when you return to the office, work smarter to build better businesses, teams and plans.”
Thayer Lavielle, EVP, The Collective, Wasserman

The Best of Both Worlds: Where to Stay
For those who love the energy and buzz of being in New York City, join us at our Game Changers anchor hotel, Arlo Midtown. Located in Midtown West, the Arlo offers a modern European-style experience near Hudson Yards and the High Line with easy access to the Lincoln Tunnel. Roundtrip charter transportation will be provided for our guests between the Arlo Midtown and MetLife Stadium.
If you prefer to stay outside of the hustle and bustle of New York City, you will appreciate the ease of accessing MetLife Stadium from Newark Airport (20 minutes) and the convenience of staying at one of the Meadowlands-area hotels.
New Networking Opportunity – The Game Changers Supper Club
If you are interested in building new relationships with other Game Changers attendees in a meaningful way, sign up to participate in Supper Club and invite a few attendees to join you for dinner the evening of October 25 or October 26 utilizing our event app, Swapcard. Participants are on their own for planning and scheduling the dinner and to avoid the awkward moment when the check arrives, everyone should plan on going Dutch. We will provide instructions on how to take advantage of this opportunity to meet potential peers, mentors and allies as the event draws nearer.
SPECIAL NOTE: COVID-19 GUIDELINES
We encourage all attendees to be fully vaccinated and recommend taking a test within 24 hours of the beginning of SBJ events. Most municipalities no longer require proof of vaccination for COVID-19 to participate in public indoor activities, including the various SBJ events. All attendees will receive a colored wristband indicating their social distancing preference and masks will be available.
