QUESTIONS

Frequently asked.

Who is this event for?

Black professionals, entrepreneurs, and creatives who are moving with intention — anyone who wants to elevate their brand, make real connections, and walk away with content that represents who they are. Whether you're building a business, climbing in your career, or growing your creative work, this room is for you.

What's included in my ticket?

Your Full Experience ticket gets you two professionally edited portraits (you choose your photographer), access to our grooming touch-up lounge, intentional networking with a curated room of professionals, live content capture, charcuterie and champagne, and a spot at our Google Review and business support stations. One afternoon, everything handled.

Can I come with my spouse, business partner, or a group?

Absolutely — At least one person in your group needs a Full Experience ticket, which includes two portraits for the group to share. Everyone else can join on a Networking Only ticket. Want more photos? Each additional Full Experience ticket adds two more portraits, so two in your group with Full Experience means four photos, and so on.

I just want to network. Do I have to get headshots?

Not at all. Our Networking Only ticket gets you into the room for the connections, content capture, and business support stations — without the portraits or grooming access. Perfect if photos aren't your priority but the room is.

Can I choose indoor or outdoor photos?

Yes. We'll have both indoor and outdoor stations with multiple photographers. Your two portraits can be any combination — pick what fits your brand and vibe.

When and how do I get my photos?

Your portraits are professionally edited after the event and delivered digitally. You'll receive clear instructions on-site for how and when to expect them. These are polished, ready-to-use images — not raw snapshots.

What should I wear?

Come camera-ready in what makes you feel confident and professional — solid colors photograph best, and bring an option or two if you want variety. Our grooming touch-up lounge will be on-site for quick polish before you step in front of the camera, so you'll look your best.

Is the grooming lounge included?

Access to the touch-up lounge is included with your Full Experience ticket. Our barbers and makeup artists offer quick, light enhancements — think fresh line-up or a matte touch-up, not a full service — on a first-come, first-served basis. Tips not required but strongly recommended.

How much would this normally cost?

A private headshot session alone typically runs $200–300 and takes a whole afternoon to schedule and shoot. Your ticket includes two edited portraits plus a full networking and content experience — for a fraction of that. It's the reason we built this: professional photos shouldn't be the thing you keep putting off.
