Partnering with us gives you one of the best opportunities to meet and network with the city's thriving #DEN Members and their guests. While partnering sponsorships are a great way to keep membership and tickets cost low, each partnering sponsor request will undergo a rigorous review to ensure that the proposed partnership falls in line with the mission of Dîner en Noir.  All partnering sponsors are required to give a direct benefit/discounted return to members/guests either during the event or after the purchase of a ticket/event registration.

Our typical schedule is built around networking, drinks, food, live music, and support of our local vendor partners.  In fact, most of our events consist of a 3-part program that includes an Aperitif Cocktail Party, seated dinner and Digestif After-Dîner Party.
