Yesterday was DealBook/Summit 2024 day in New York. CNBC, (the "stock channel" as I call it) aired the event live intermittently all day yesterday. As usual, I had the channel on in my office while working. I was so captivated by some of the interviews that I found myself watching TV. The near hour-long interview with Jeff Bezos was fascinating to me. The interview with Sam Altman on the future of AI and society was also impactful - so much so that I decided to make this week's ERPE Excerpts about DealBook/Summit 2024. Here is just a little about what the event is and this year's conference.

The DealBook/Summit is an annual conference hosted by The New York Times. Its 2-day event brings together influential figures from the worlds of business, politics, and technology to discuss current events and future trends. The summit features keynote speeches, panel discussions, and one-on-one interviews with prominent leaders. Andrew Ross Sorkin is the host of the event and leads the day's live, candid interviews with some of the most consequential leaders in business, politics and culture connect. Sorkin is the founder and editor of DealBook, a financial news service published by The New York Times. He's a journalist, an author and a financial columnist for The New York Times. Andrew is also a co-anchor of CNBC's Squawk Box.

DealBook/Summit 2024's venue is also impressive. The event is being held at the Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Appel Room. It features world-class performance spaces, classrooms, and an atrium overlooking Central Park and the New York skyline — all in the heart of Columbus Circle. But, the most impressive part of the Summit are the truly influential speakers. We know you get what you pay for. Admission to the conference is no exception to that rule. The cost to attend the DealBook Summit this year depends on the type of ticket you purchase. Tickets ranged from $2,950 to $10,000. There were also VIP packages available for $25,000.

This year's DealBook Summit featured a wide range of influential speakers. Here's a speaker-lineup by category:
