Schimmel Center at Pace University THANK YOU SPONSORS
The One Day Immersion in Media, Entertainment & Technology team wishes to say THANK YOU to our incredible sponsors. These are the wonderfully engaged people that write the checks, offer their time and resources, and lend their support to move our academic initiatives forward. The conference would not be possible without you! WELCOME Post your comments and photos to Instagram at #ODINYC2018
Welcome students and guests to our SIXTH ANNUAL One Day Immersion (ODI) in Media, Entertainment & Technology conference, in association with Pace University’s Lubin School of Business. We are once again very excited to return to the Schimmel Center in New York City, and honored to have such a rich partnership with Dean Braun and the Lubin School.
ODI is an equal opportunity, shared learning experience for a diverse community of media and technology students and executives. Meaning, we learn from each other.
This year, our theme will focus on Navigating Disruption, as it pertains to career path and industry endurance. You’ll hear how our guest speakers have responded to disruptions in their careers, and how the industries of media, entertainment and technology are constantly pushing boundaries in creativity and innovative technology, while staying relevant to their audience.
We launched a team competition – Pitch Perfect: ODI Edition. Finalists will present their new, advanced ideas to our jury of executives who green- light projects. This is a terrific opportunity for the students to test themselves and see how far their ideas will go. They’ll gain awesome experience in public speaking, building confidence and improve their ability to develop a clear message. These are important qualities that will help get you hired.
Our brilliant keynote speaker, Judy McGrath, is an industry pop culture pioneer (Real World and Jersey Shore). Your panelists are a rich mix of experience and backgrounds, and they’re here for you. They’re wearing white buttons that say, ‘Ask Me Anything’, so make sure you do.
Thank you for being here today and for your wonderful support!
Warmest regards,
— Dolly Wolf, Producer, ODI
