Dear Media Representatives:

Welcome to the 2023 Wharton Restructuring and Distressed Investing Conference. We greatly appreciate your attendance and your coverage of the Conference this year. Your presence helps to promote the Conference and expand its influence among industry professionals, academics, and the public.

Our goal for the Conference is to provide members of the media with ample opportunities to interact with Conference attendees and generate high quality content for their respective audiences, while balancing the need to provide a structured environment in which keynotes and panelists can share their thoughts openly and be candid in their remarks. To that end, we ask all media representatives adhere to the following policies throughout the duration of the Conference:

  • All interview requests must be granted through express written permission of one of the Conference Co-Chairs.
  • NO live video or audio recording is permitted during keynote addresses and panel discussions. Media representatives violating this policy will be asked to return their media credential and will be removed from remaining conference activities.
  • All statements made during the Conference will be “off the record” in accordance with the no recording policy. Any exceptions to this policy must be granted through (i) express written permission of the speaker and any applicable departments of the speaker’s organization and (ii) one of the Conference Co-Chairs.

Any use of photography, screen capture, or recording during the Conference must be approved through express written permission of one of the Conference Co-Chairs. If you have any questions regarding the Media Policy or would like to inquire about scheduling an interview with a keynote or panelist, please feel free to contact one of the Conference Co-Chairs. Thank you again for your coverage; we hope that you enjoy attending the Conference this year and look forward to returning next year.
