The gala is meant to be a small, intentional break from everyday life, a chance to swap our hoodies for something sharper and make the evening feel a little special.
Dress code: Black tie.
Black tie typically means a tuxedo (or dinner jacket with matching trousers). A dark suit is also acceptable. For dresses, black tie means an elegant knee-length cocktail dress or a full-length evening gown.
Indeed, there is.
After the official programme, the evening continues in a more relaxed atmosphere at Kaapelitehdas. The After Party is open until 1.00 AM.
We also have an unofficial After After Party place for those who want to continue the night even further.
If you have questions, please contact us at maija@startupyhteiso.com or mari@startupyhteiso.com. We are happy to help.
