Welcome + Join Us for the LEVELUP in NYC Holiday Soireé on December 4th in Manhattan!

Hey LEVELUP in NYC Family,

We’re coming to you a little later than usual this week because we’ve been hard at work planning our LEVELUP in NYC Holiday Soireé on December 4th at The DL, and we need you in the room. Our first mixer in September drew 400+ of NYC’s finest, and we’re closing out the year with an even bigger celebration — early bird tickets are live now! We’re partnering with the Official NYC Toys for Tots Campaign, with a portion of proceeds being donated to help ensure children receive a gift this holiday season. Plus, we’re offering a special VIP Ticket deal: you’ll get two drink tickets and a one-year Annual Membership to LEVELUP in NYC Premium, which means you get FREE entry to all of our quarterly networking mixers in 2026, along with all the other premium membership benefits (normally $99/year). It’s also the official birthday celebration for our Founder, Ryan McBride so we’d love to have you in the room. Grab your ticket early before they sell out and we’ll see you there. Read on for more upcoming events in the city.

Let’s LEVELUP Together,

-The LEVELUP in NYC Team
