About Camp David
About
Camp David
Camp David ’21 was special. Returning from the depths of the pandemic, and despite the looming Delta variant, our business-and-broader gathering was one of the most educational and enjoyable to date. From a Thursday evening Welcome Reception presentation by Michael Schein, author of the best seller “The Hype Handbook,” to Friday Breakfast at the Gideon Putnam with a welcome by Saratoga mayor, Meg Kelly on “Health, History and Horses,” and panels on “Business Strategy, Now,” “Post-Pandemic Well Being,” “What is Justice?,” “Marketing Matters” and a presentation by John Ubaldo, the subject of the award-winning film, “The Bullish Farmer,” the 2021 presentations were outstanding. Then, Friday evening dinner and program on the stage of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. And, of course, a Day at the Races. (See the full 2021 Agenda while it’s still on the Agenda tab.)
Camp David 23 will be held in August 2023. Conference attendance is limited and hotels sell out quickly so register and reserve rooms early. A “save-the-date” will be sent in late 2022 (via email and social media), with invitations and full program in early 2023. If you don’t receive an invitation and believe you should attend (they’re often caught in Spam filters, etc.), contact David Deutsch directly at dndeutsch@dndco.com or 212-980-7800 x1.

The conference fee payable by attendees of the three-day Saratoga Weekend is modest thanks to the support of our partners and host.

Where to Stay
The Saratoga Weekend occurs at many venues, and its attendees stay at many hotels, inns, bed & breakfasts, etc. While the business sessions are at the Gideon Putnam, there is no single “conference hotel.” Note that many of Saratoga’s most popular — and smaller — places sell-out well ahead of racing season. No worries, the Saratoga Chamber of Commerce keeps a list of hotels with availability. And, we’d be pleased to help.
Our most recommended places to stay are:
-Gideon Putnam
-Hilton Garden Inn
-Hampton Inn of Saratoga
-Holiday Inn
-Embassy Suites
