In 2010 WayOut Events, under the leadership of its Founder and CEO, Joe Mode, will be hitting the 8 major cities of the US with its exciting and well established, ‘In The Mix w/ Joe Mode’ party event, and we want to invite you to join us.
First launched in 2008, ‘In The Mix w/ Joe Mode’ is a monthly after-work networking event for the Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Trans-sexual (LGBT) Professional Community. Laced with extravagance and sophistication, the event welcomes no less than 200-300 guests who are enthused by such entertainment royalty as DJ Lina, the notorious Britney Houston and many others. This, coupled with the use of the hosting cities most prestigious venues such as the HK Lounge in NYC, as well as a VIP Members Lounge enjoying complimentary Grey Goose Vodka cocktails from our sponsor, we have built up a strong brand and gained the undeniable respect of our peers within the ever growing entertainment industries. Indeed, excitement is already building as word spreads within the LGBT Community that an ‘In The Mix w/ Joe Mode’ party is coming to their city.
These 5 major events are anticipated to hit no less than some 20-50,000 direct targets, per city, through WayOut Events own avenues of marketing, as well as via the support of the local Film Festival organizers with whom WayOut Events will be partnering.
Guests, who will represent a very high level professional demographic, will enjoy a night to remember with exclusive VIP lounges as well as the opportunity to win some amazing prizes through the onsite raffles, and all will walk away with a goodie bag filled with some exciting and well sort after products.
This initial tour is just the beginning of where these events will take us as we continue to make inroads into the LGBT International Community with plans to take this tour from an 5-City US Tour to an 5-City International Tour in the not too distant future.
