EVENT FAQs
WHAT DOES TRADE-ONLY EVENT MEAN?
This event is exclusively for national and regional F&B industry professionals, including affiliated suppliers, vendors, buyers, and key decision-makers.

All attendees must register using a verifiable industry trade email and indicate the sponsor or host who extended the invitation. This is a private, invitation-only event and is not open to the general public. All attendees are required to be age 21+.

NOTE: As space is limited, our clients, sponsors, and national F&B operators are first priority. F&B industry affiliation does NOT guarantee RSVP acceptance. However, if you used Gmail, Yahoo, or another generic (non-business) email, you will be immediately rejected and should re-register with your business email.

A valid QR code is required for entry—no exceptions.

If your email cannot be verified by the sponsoring party, your registration will be rejected to ensure we remain within capacity limits.
THEME AND SUGGESTED ATTIRE
This year’s party is all about CD-era hits, countdown-show energy, music video nostalgia, and the songs that still know how to take over a room.

Suggested Attire: elevated partywear with a throwback twist. Think Aspen night out, pop-star energy, bold accessories, metallics, leather, denim, and a little late-90s/early-2000s attitude. Costumes not required but admired!

Who is performing?
This year’s lineup is built around the songs, artists, and pop-culture moments that defined the ultimate throwback soundtrack.

Guests can expect performances and musical moments from Ryan Cabrera, known for early 2000s hits like “On the Way Down” and “True”; Debbie Gibson, the pop icon behind classics like “Lost in Your Eyes,” “Foolish Beat,” and “Electric Youth”; LFO, bringing the nostalgic energy of hits like “Summer Girls” and “Girl on TV”; and Hot Chelle Rae, known for singalong favorites like “Tonight Tonight.”

The evening will close with *NSYNC’s Joey Fatone, performing fan-favorite *NSYNC hits and bringing the finale moment to the Belly Up stage. Musical programming will run throughout the night, so guests will experience high-energy entertainment whether they arrive early or later in the evening.
