Neo Club Holiday Gala Brings Founders and Investors Back to the World Trade Center

The founder and the investor usually enter the same room carrying different versions of what the year meant.

Neo Club is giving those versions one final New York room on December 9. Its annual Holiday Gala marks the community's 50th event and brings founders, investors and partners back to the World Trade Center for an evening built around the relationships that may travel into the next year.

The program begins with registration at 5:15 p.m. A Hanukkah lighting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., followed by an investor mixer at 7:00 p.m. The gala concludes at 8:30 p.m.

Why this room matters

Markets often remember the deal and forget the introductions that made the next conversation possible. A year-end gathering can look social from the outside while the people inside are comparing what they learned, which companies kept moving and where conviction changed after the announcement.

This is a ticketed event reserved for Neo Club members, partners and approved guests. Some ticket categories are already sold out. Registration does not guarantee admission, and the exact New York address is provided through the official approval process.
