(Tuesday, December 17th, 2024) Plus 1 Network presented the ‘Year-End Soiree’ at Gravitas, a members-only social club, offering an exclusive mixer that brought together culture creators, tastemakers, and influential talent to foster meaningful connections.

The event showcased a partnership of celebrity-endorsed spirits, headlined by Rick Ross and Lil Wayne’s premium portfolio. Ross, known for championing Luc Belaire’s luxury champagne collection, and Wayne, a driving force behind both Bumbu rum and Villion cognac, bring their refined palates and cultural influence.

Liquor offerings were complimented by Avaline, the clean wine brand co-founded by acclaimed actress Cameron Diaz. Additional beverages by Drink Barcode, Brez, and Melo. Delectable bites were provided by Gravitas Executive Chef Preston Madson, with a live DJ that provided sounds and set the vibe for the night. Additional Partners included Wall Of Entertainment & Celebrity Packaged Goods

The ethos behind Plus 1 Network and Founder Joivan Wade is that in every industry, you are one step away from success, one connection away from culture, and one person away from purpose. Each event is bespoke and aims to edify their members by building confidence, and encouraging guests to ‘live in your purpose’. 

Gravitas is a new members only social club concept located in the heart of the coveted Golden Triangle of Beverly Hills.  Cofounders Seth Glassman & Brandon Steven joined forces to offer next level top-hat hospitality, amenities & concierge services at the multi-faceted immersive members club which includes high-quality food, award-winning wines, state-of the art wine lockers, extravagant design, high-tech amenities, a chauffeur service, and above all, remarkable individuals.
