A Multi-Day Celebration of a New York and Film Icon
Once upon a time in the heart of New York City, the stage was set for a dazzling celebration that would bring together film enthusiasts, pop culture aficionados, and devoted fans. From June 14-16, the city that never sleeps would be alight with the magic of De Niro Con, a spellbinding tribute to the iconic Robert De Niro. Presented in partnership with Webex by Cisco and powered by Webex Events, this multi-day commemoration promised an unforgettable journey through the life and legacy of a true film legend.
As the sun set on the concrete jungle, the city prepared to immerse itself in a celebration like no other, coinciding with the world-renowned Tribeca Festival. The streets buzzed with anticipation as film lovers marked their calendars for a weekend filled with magic, memories, and cinematic wonders.
