NEW YORK, June 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A selection of business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and creatives gathered in Southampton for the second annual Uncharted Summit. The event occurred at Michael and Marjorie Loeb's home on Meadow Lane in Southampton, NY on Friday, June 23rd. Uncharted consisted of a series of fireside chats, and organizers placed an emphasis on informal connections and networking amongst high caliber entrepreneurs and investors. 

"I am once again thrilled to have gathered such a diverse selection of accomplished individuals in a special environment that fosters an exchange of ideas in a purposefully unimpeded and relaxed fashion," said Michael Loeb, event co-host, serial entrepreneur and founder of Loeb.nyc. "It's quite powerful to see this caliber of audience having such personal and intimate conversations. It's amazing to see young leaders casually chatting with established CEOs, investors, and noted champions from the world of professional sports."

Sponsored by Lürssen Yachts, Whistler Partners and ten other organizations, Uncharted 2023 built on the success of last year's inaugural summit to deliver a unique, one-day forum for great minds to connect and share the unique paths they're taking and have taken to achieve success in their varied endeavors. The event is an extension and larger expression of an ongoing and exclusive dinner series created in 2021 by Noah Friedman and Michael Loeb. Friedman has also created the Uncharted Podcast, which provides unfettered access to and insight from leading minds.

Friedman said: "Our ambition with Uncharted is to foster collaboration on the highest scale by providing a forum for authentic and intentional connection. Those who joined us in Southampton this year were able to meet world class movers and shakers, to reconnect with old friends and, importantly, meet new ones. My sincere hope is that we have a positive impact on attendees' careers, business models and spirits overall."
