A premium sponsorship to connect directly with newspaper leaders — in a private bar where the conversations that matter keep going. Step inside.
The Press Room
A hidden bar just off the lobby. Know the password, and the conversations that matter keep going long after the sessions end — with your brand setting the scene.
When the sessions end, the conversations that matter keep going. The Press Room is a private, password-only speakeasy open exclusively to registered Senior Leadership and Family Owners Conference attendees — an intimate, after-dark environment built to engage directly with newspaper leaders. As host, your brand owns the room.
Your invitation is the password
Custom invitations with your logo double as the key to the room — hand-distributed to SLC and Family Owners attendees. Personally invite guests at the Family Owners Conference Monday lunch break.
Branded host environment
Your brand front and center as a host, with signage and a relaxed, low-lit setting to connect and engage directly with newspaper leaders. The general public is not permitted — registered attendees only.
Prime location & hours
