Primack to co-chair Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech

Dan Primack

Fortune managing editor Andy Serwer sent out the following announcement on Tuesday:

I am delighted to announce that Dan Primack will become a co-chair of Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech Conference.
As we all know Dan does an amazing job putting out his award-winning newsletter Term Sheet, breaking stories online, writing columns in the magazine, and hosting his Liquidity Event meet-ups, (which we also plan to expand going forward.) Some highlights: Term Sheet subscribers are up 54% from a year ago, and Dan’s scoops recently have included Justin Bieber investing in a social network, Tim Draper stepping down as a partner at DFJ, management changes at Kleiner Perkins, Warby Parker’s valuation and new fundraises by Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, USV and Accel Partners.
Exclusives include first post-firing interview with Men’s Wearhouse founder George Zimmerman. And more. Now Dan will bring his great knowledge-base and reporting skills to help his co-chairs, Stephanie Mehta, Adam Lashinsky and Jessi Hempel, take Brainstorm Tech to even greater heights.
As you all know, there is fantastic momentum in our conference division, with revenue, attendance and breaking news way up and a number of exciting new programs around the world added to the calendar, including our first-ever Brainstorm Tech Dinner in Las Vegas this winter.
We’re excited to have Dan helping look for even more ways to expand Brainstorm Tech. Please join me in congratulating Dan.
