The New York Times DealBook Conference: What You Should Know

An all-star roster of business personalities from CEOs to entrepeneurs — even a Shark from The Walt Disney Company DIS's hit show "Shark Tank" — descend upon New York City on Thursday, Nov. 9 for The New York Times Company NYT's seventh annual Dealbook conference.

What It Is

Initiated in 2012, the DealBook conference is hosted by DealBook's editor-at-large Andrew Ross Sorkin and features one-on-one and panel conversations on business topics. This year's event is "DealBook: Playing for the Long Term."

Does It Move Stocks?
