About this event

“The internationally recognized event that embodies the luxury lifestyle of James Bond…”

You’re cordially invited to join KS Champagne Lifestyle, the Global Bond Society, and the Secret Masquerade Society for the 12th Annual James Bond Soiree: a night of style, masquerade, and curated entertainment – designed to tantalize the mind and the senses – while benefiting a great cause! 

Some have called it the best event they’ve ever attended. It all started back in 2012, with a small group of friends. The next year, we were already joining forces with 10+ cities across the globe. Since then, the event has continually evolved to feature unique, curated elements, such as champagne drone deliveries onto a yacht, aerial champagne pourings, holographic technology, luxury car exhibits, fashion showcases, and much more.

What's New This year

This year we’re partnering with Craft 21 mixology, Premier Innovations, and the Secret Masquerade Society to offer a truly unique experience…
The action begins with a 007 cocktail reception on Friday, August 25th, followed by the main event on Saturday, August 26th.

“Elevated Guest Experience…”

The 007 cocktail reception on Friday, August 25 will be held at the Embassy Hotel in dowtown Pittsburgh. New this year are some Bond-themed mixology classes for an elevated guest experience, in addition to a number of other curated elements and the usual opportunities to make some high-level connections with other guests and organizers.
The main event on Aug 26 will be a VIP-only experience at a secret MI6-approved location (on a beautiful private estate) just outside of Pittsburgh, PA.

“No Names, Only Numbers…”

This year’s main event will be a unique “secret agent” experience, with a formal masqurade, following the rules of the Secret Masquerade Sociey: Masquerade mask and Agent ID required for entry.

The event itself will be unique experience like none other! (see the video below for a small taste of what to expect..)

Supporting Mental Health

This year’s charity is the National Alliance on Mental Illness and their mission to support the millions of people affected by mental illness.
As before, it’ll be a weekend that embodies the luxury lifestyle of James Bond through fashion, high-profile networking, and curated entertainment. Connect with C-level execs, high net worth individuals, and other fantastically interesting people from all walks of life… all while having fun & escaping your regular life, using champagne & 007 as the catalyst.~
