VMM is proud to announce that the inaugural HERALD LONG ISLAND BUSINESS SUMMIT was a resounding success!
The first-ever Long Island-wide, cross-industry business expo was attended by nearly 500 guests, featuring over 50 exhibitors and 24 speakers.
We are grateful to our friends and colleagues for joining us to share their valuable time and expertise and making the event a vitalizing forum for the Long Island business community. A warm thanks to our co-producers Richner Live Events and presenting sponsor Bank of America.
The full-day event included two expo halls, keynote speakers, panel discussions and roundtable workshops, networking sessions, curated introductions, awards luncheon, small business grants totaling $25,000, complimentary items & services including professional headshots and videos, and much more.
VMM attorneys presented two panels: partners Morris Sabbagh & Joseph Trotti led an invitation-only executive session, "The Future is Now: Protecting Your Wealth and Legacy," and managing partner Joseph Milizio led a panel on "Five Things Every Business Owner Should Know." Mr. Milizio also gave welcome remarks at the Thrive Awards luncheon.
We hope that the Summit provided meaningful insights and opportunities for the business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals who participated, and that it leads to future success and growth.
We are pleased to announce that, given the overwhelming response to the inaugural event, planning for the 2027 Summit has already begun. The date will be announced soon, with more details following.
