Another new event came to TK New York in 2010!  This year The Daily Beast asked Tracy Kessler and TK New York to join its forces to help produce the Women in the World Summit held in New York City.  Starting only a few weeks prior to the event, TK New York worked from the The Daily Beast offices.  Working side by side with Tina Brown, The Daily Beast founder, Stephen Colvin, President and Laura Albers, SVP of Events, TK New York managed all events aspects dealing with the venue, sponsorship and security.  TK New York collaborated with the Secret Service and Dept of State Security advance teams for VIP speakers such as Hillary Clinton, Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan, and Valerie Jarret.  TK New York acted as liaison with the venue and The Daily Beast, ensuring that all venue details were attended to.  TK New York coordinated with HP, Live Stream, DVF, ExxonMobil, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation in making sure all of their sponsor activations were executed at the highest standards.

“The Daily Beast's Women in the World Summit…an extraordinary three-day session in which some of the most powerful women on the planet met to discuss global challenges and propose solutions, in a stirring call to arms. From Queen Rania and Valerie Jarrett to Hillary Clinton, Nora Ephron and Katie Couric, the assembled blew the roof off with their ideas and their passion for change. Watch moments from the summit, including peace activist Leymah Gbowee urging Michelle Obama to meet with African first ladies, Meryl Streep speaking with real-life heroine, Irish civil rights activist Inez McCormack, and Diane Sawyer's emotional conversation with Marietou Diarra and Molly Melching.” – The Daily Beast 

Working on the Women in the World Summit was not only an amazing experience professionally but also an amazingly experience personally.  TK New York was proud to be a member of the team!
