Destiny USA Thought Summit

By Chris Ulanowski

Syracuse, NY – About two dozen people described as leading thinkers in their field were summoned to Pyramid Companies' founder Robert Congel's Savannah Dhu resort in Wayne County to discuss plans for Congel's Destiny USA mega-mall, resort complex in Syracuse.
Experts in renewable energy, new technologies, and tourism attended the so-called "thought summit." One of the invited guests was Laura Martin, managing director of Capital Knowledge, a financial media consulting firm. WRVO's Chris Ulanowski spoke to her about the summit.
