​This is not just another VIP room — it’s the room where revolutionaries converge.

​A gathering of visionaries creating what’s next: investors who see beyond markets, founders re-imagining business as a force for good, technologists building tools that serve life.

​Here, changemakers meet eye-to-eye to co-create the world they wish existed — leaders from within the system, daring enough to redesign it from the inside out.

​The Convergence

​High above the main festival, the 39th floor VIP Penthouse is curated for less than 100 guests — each invited through referrals from trusted Light DAO allies or our own global community network.

​Guests are values-aligned leaders, united by purpose and a desire for authentic connection. You’ll share the day with headline speakers and global catalysts — in conversation, over three chef-catered meals, and during the private speaker Q&As reserved exclusively for the VIP Penthouse guests.

​No lines. No crowds. No sponsored pitches— just real connection, inspiration, and effortless collaboration with brilliant new friends.

​The Experience

​VIPs will enjoy the Day Festival in the stunning Penthouse, surrounded by a curated guest list of visionary investors, founders, and innovators.

Talks from the 2nd floor 300-person main stage are streamed live to the Penthouse large screens, offering a luxurious and uncrowded viewing experience.

​Immediately after each talk, speakers are escorted to the Penthouse for exclusive Q&As with VIP guests.

From morning through night — including the beautiful & quiet VIP-only floor at the Temple Nightclub during the Night Festival, guests enjoy rare, meaningful engagement with world-renowned speakers and fellow change-makers.

​The NeoRenaissance Night Festival

​After the Day Festival, VIP guests enjoy an energizing optional evening reception with abundant food and relaxed conversations.

​At 9 PM, the Night Festival ignites Temple Nightclub in downtown SF with the robot Desdemona Dream Band and DJ dance music to move your body and spirit, or continued scintillating conversations in the serene VIP lounge.

​Exclusive VIP Access to Desdemona the rock star & Codey the child robot

​Desdemona the rock band lead singer, will be playing with her band at the Night Festival. And also meet Little Codey the three foot tall child educational robot. Enjoy close-up interactions and Q&A's with the robots, only for VIP Penthouse guests.
