After raising over $150,000 in two years, we've raised over $80,000 in less than two months! This could not have been done without the contributions form our host and planning committees in a 100% pure volunteer effort.

To make sure you move and shake with Young & Powerful politicos and young professionals like you, mix and mingle with celebrity guests, and to be a part of an experience covered by over 30 press organizations from across the nation and the world...
