Empire Reserve: An End of Year Gala at American Dream
No empire is built alone. Come close the year together.
On Friday, December 18, Leave Normal Behind is taking over Dream Live at American Dream for Empire Reserve, a gala for the empire builders of today. For one night, the venue becomes a private world for 250 founders, investors, creators, artists, and leaders who carried the year and are ready for the next one.
Expect a night worth dressing up for, with live art, music, an exceptional dinner, and great company from the moment you arrive until the last dance.
No name tags. No pitches. Just great people, great food, and the right way to end the year.
