This February, join ISI for a weekend of waltzing and camaraderie featuring conversations with President and CEO John A. Burtka IV! Festivities will commence on Friday, February 14th, with a Valentine’s Day Dinner at The Monocle, a classic American eatery that has served a number of past Presidents from Kennedy to Bush.
The next morning, guests will convene for a brunch at the Cosmos Club, an historic DC hub for intellectual fellowship, whose past members include three United States presidents, two vice presidents, and multiple U.S. Supreme Court justices. The brunch will begin at 9 AM.
The weekend will conclude with the 42nd Annual Viennese Waltz Ball, for which you will have two complimentary tickets and seats at the VIP table. In keeping with the tradition of a Viennese waltz, this event’s dress code will be formal attire (white tie optional).
ISI has reserved a room block at the Cosmos Club. Once the Valentine’s Day Package has been purchased, our events team will reach out to confirm your reservation. Payment will be taken upon check-in. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
Hope to see you there!
