Ninety years ago, just down the street from the Kaplow office, at the Algonquin Hotel, influential American writers and journalists met daily to discuss their work, ideas and opinions while gossiping and giggling. Led by Dorothy Parker, friends Robert Benchley, and Robert E. Sherwood gathered with literary contemporaries including critic, Alexander Woollcott, playwrights George Kaufman and Edna Ferber, and New Yorker editor and founder Harold Ross. The Algonquin literati are credited with influencing the work of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway.
On Tuesday, September 15, Kaplow will host the Algonquin 3.0, an incarnation of Dorothy Parker’s roundtable. Joining moderator Liz Kaplow are esteemed industry experts, journalists and thought leaders Sree Sreenivasan, Jean Chatzky, Lesley Jane Seymour, Lincoln Millstein, and Alan Levy.The panelists will discuss the changing media landscape, in a discussion entitled “Don’t Write Them Off: Television, Newspapers, Magazines, Radio Reinvented.” It’s sure to be a lively conversation about how media convergence affects the work of writers, journalists, and public relations professionals.
The event will be streamed live on both Ustream.tv and BlogTalkRadio.

The watch industry’s largest event held annually in Switzerland each March, BaselWorld was the perfect platform to reinforce a leadership position for Timex Group in the timepiece and jewelry industry. With 12 watch brands across the luxury and mass sectors under the corporate umbrella, the Timex Group had a major presence at the event. The forum allowed a strategic opportunity to connect Timex Group CEO, Hans-Kristian Hoejsgaard, with a global media audience across trade, business and lifestyle press to deliver a unique point of view of business trends, while also underscoring the company’s core commitment to CSR.
Kaplow secured and co-staffed more than 20 media meetings with press representing countries around the globe, including the US, Europe, China, India and South America.

Kaplow recently organized a corporate social responsibility event at Timex Group’s headquarters in Middlebury, CT, to celebrate the completion of the state’s largest, ground-mounted solar electric installation. This installation – one of the largest in the entire northeastern United States – represents the global company’s commitment to corporate responsibility. Timex Group President & Chief Executive Officer Hans-Kristian Hoejsgaard was joined by federal, state and local politicians including State Senators Joan Hartley and Robert J. Kane, among many other officials. This installation of 800 solar panels will enable the company headquarters to avoid over 6.6 million pounds of carbon dioxide, 28,000 pounds of sulfur dioxide and 11,000 pounds of nitrogen oxide over the 25-year life of the system.
