Three ways in
Weekly and monthly gatherings return after Desert After Dark. For now, this is the one.
Weekly
Small and intimate. A handful of people, one room, real conversation.
Monthly
A hosted dinner, about 60 to 70 of us. A bigger room with the same warmth.
Yearly · Now booking
The flagship. One night, all out. This year, that's Desert After Dark.

Our yearly flagship: a private-residence takeover with a runway, live entertainment and a night built for the senses. It's the one thing on our calendar until it's done.
Ladies are our guests · Gentlemen, by ticket
“The goal is not to create a party. The goal is to create a room people are proud to be seen in.”

Curated with comfort in mind
This is not a mixer built around pressure or aggressive networking. The room is hosted, the guest list is reviewed, and the tone is warm, respectful and socially aware.
The room does the introducing
Come polished. Come present. Come socially aware. This isn't a place for hard-selling, hovering or trying to win the room. The best guests help make the evening feel effortless for everyone else.
We're particular, on purpose
