What toExpect

Our goal for this event was to bring you a night where your adult desires could roam free. We want you to explore. We want you to dance. We want you to relax. We want you to self pamper. We want you to cheer until your voice goes out. 

From the SILENT DISCO on the rooftop (powered by our friends at CTA) to the STAGE PERFORMANCES to the VENDORS to the SNACKAGE and the DRINKS, and even something to toke on, we promise to have something for everyone in the DAM building.
