The gala held on Friday evening by the committee of the tech conference was the highlight of the week. Not only did it signal the end of a stressful period for the participants, it was also the best place to make connections, both business and personal.
More importantly, the glamorous event was hosted in Demesne Hotel owned by the prestigious Zhong family. The hotel was the most lavish and exclusive spot in the city, so most people had not had the opportunity to step through its doors.
Unlike Maven Resort, Demesne was not a place that one could enter with just money or a little reputation. This hotel housed only the most elite of the world, including head of states. If they allowed normal celebrities and general upper class people, the prestige and security of the hotel would lose its standing.
