About the event 

The wait is over! It’s been a long two years not being able to work together face-to-face, but now, DealMaker USA is back and in person!

Come to Austin this June to connect, learn, grow, deal and, dare we say, party with 1,000 of the best (and best-performing) professionals from our tight-knit group of advertisers and publishers. It turns out networking doesn’t have to feel like work. Start building close relationships that close big deals—without a zoom call in sight.

Secluded in the rolling hill country of Austin, Texas, the 4,000 acre newly-renovated Omni Barton Creek Resort & Spa is the ultimate retreat. 

 

The sleeping rooms at Omni Barton Creek Resort are now sold out. We are working on a overflow property and will post these details soon. 

 

Feel free to check back with Omni now and again. As guests cancel, rooms will open up.

Keynote Speaker

 

Radha Agrawal is a community force. She is the co-founder, CEO and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, the global morning dance and wellness move-ment in 28 cities and five continents with a community of almost half a million people around the globe. She is a successful entrepreneur with the title of co-founder of both THINX underwear and Daybreaker under her belt.

Join us first for a keynote presentation followed by a 30 minute Daybreaker party. Doing business shouldn’t be this much fun!

Community Building 101

To create community, Radha says you first need to take a look inward at your values, interests, and your abilities, instead of looking outward. Once you have a good sense of your values, interests, and abilities (your VIA), you start to build your community around these attributes. Join Radha for an inspiring keynote to learn how you can set up your community in both business and in life. There is no better place to springboard off of this session than in the built in community already surrounding you at DealMaker.

Health PROTocols

We're looking forward to safely gathering together in person! While on site, health protocols will be top priority. 

Our COVID-19 event policy is as follows:

- In order to unmask, attendees are required to be up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination, which means that the attendee have received all recommended COVID-19 vaccines, including any booster doses, if eligible, per CDC guidance. Any attendees that do not show proof of vaccination will be asked to mask unless eating or drinking. 

- Attendees will be asked to use CLEAR to verify vaccination status. If necessary, as an alternative, individuals may present their vaccination record in person for manual inspection at on-site registration.

We also encourage our guests to take care of one another! Ways you can do this include receiving a negative COVID-19 test prior to attending the event and/or wearing a face covering as well as frequently washing your hands. Ticket refunds will be given to any guest who is not able to travel due to COVID-19 restrictions or illness.
