Event Policy
Join us this spring in beautiful Philadelphia on Rittenhouse Square as we show you how a 21st century Black American gentleman does it!
Starting with with Social Events Only Pass:
This ticket is for the gentlemen that would like to skip the high quality seminars and presentations during the day. These ticket holders are given access to all social events. This includes complimentary dinner on Thursday evening at Ruth's Chris Steak House (menu to be sent to you privately) and your presence is requested on the Red Carpet for interviews and photos. On Friday night you will have access to the VIP Lounge where music, mixing & mingling will occur with the High Demand ladies. This includes drinks on the house and an outside patio for cigars. On Saturday evening, you can look forward to a few hours of the closing event at the Sonesta Hotel where music will continue along with the ladies and more conversation with other distinguished gentlemen like yourself.
Next is the All Access Pass:
This ticket affords you all the social luxuries of the Social Events Only Pass but you also gain full access to the business meetings, presentations, courses and discussions during the day at both locations. All holders of the All Access Pass will also receive a gift bag of complimentary items, which now includes brand new physical copies of both the "Book Of Obsidian" and the all new "Book Of Obsidian, women's edition" as well.
Finally there is the High Value Pass:
This is the ticket of all tickets. Of course this holder receives everything the 2 levels below it receives, but also the High Value Pass holder gets access to the Presidential Suite on Saturday night to partake in the Mastermind Mixer. This final event includes a podcast recording and interview where a meeting of the minds come together of the most distinguished gentlemen in Men Only spaces. Only reserved for men of value, this pass is one you do not want to miss.
Ladies,
We have made space available at all of our social events for you to attend. We would love for you and other women cut from the same high quality cloth as you, to accompany the fellas at our classy social gatherings. Please RSVP yourselves by placing a complimentary order for the High Demand Woman Pass to gain access to all of our after-business hours events.
For 2025, we will be securing discount hotel lodging specifically for our attendees at both the events host hotel and also at an alternative hotel located within walking distance of the Conclave. More information coming soon.
