NEW YORK, NY - (NewMediaWire) - October 16, 2019 - Wall Street Dead aHead Networking Events®, a grassrootsnetwork founded on a shared love for the Grateful Dead that unites this tight knit, yet ever-welcoming community of Wall Street and free-spirited professionals, will hold its sold out Annual Event on October 22nd at the Angel Orensanz Foundation in New York City. 

 

Inspired by personal experiences unintentionally networking at concerts, Deborah Solomon, Portfolio Manager and Founder of Wall Street Dead aHead Networking Events® (WSDaH), has replicated the inherent connection concert-goers experience into an effective, valuable and enduring networking model. While WSDaH has facilitated countless successful connections, it is the Grateful Dead itself and the group’s devotion as ‘Heads’ deserving credit. The legacy of the Grateful Dead can be found in the long-standing bonds the fans maintain. 

 

The networking ‘Family’, as Solomon calls it, has grown dramatically over the past 7 years. “I’ve watched people become family, friends, do business, have holidays together -- you name it!” Solomon personally speaks to each potential new member, a touch defining the framework for growing her Family. It is important to her that the group’s expansion is of substance in the context of business connections – only allowing new members in if they show direct interest in the ultimate purpose: networking. 

 

For the Annual Event, Solomon limits attendance by business category: “It wouldn’t help if I just stuck 200 lawyers in a room”, states Solomon. It is her attention to such seemingly minor, yet monumental detail that has led to WSDaH’s undeniable success. Attendees of each Annual Event receive an impressive Sponsor Bag and “Set List” – the attendance roster listing all registered guests’ contact information and their answer to Solomon’s centerpiece question: What is your favorite Grateful Dead song?
