Washington Elite Gala - UNGA 2026

The Washington Elite Investment Summit & Gala
Fourth consecutive year · The flagship night of Blockchain Week – UNGA Edition

Friday, September 18, 2026 · Times Square, New York City
Summit from 4:00 PM · Gala 6:00 PM – Midnight · Black tie

For ten years, the Porter Brothers have built rooms where capital, policy and emerging technology meet — from Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna to the centre of Manhattan. This is the night that closes Blockchain Week.

Three acts, one evening. A champagne cocktail reception. A closed-door investment summit across energy, crypto and digital assets, privacy, AI and space. Then dinner, the awards ceremony, and an after-party that runs to midnight.

Investors, family offices, institutional leaders, policymakers and founders. Off the record, and in one room.

Every ticket puts a blind athlete on the ice. Proceeds support the Washington Elite Blind Hockey Initiative, which has sponsored tournaments with the Blind Veterans Association and at the Lake Placid Olympic Center — covering jerseys, ice time, travel and adaptive equipment. Programs run every Saturday at the National Gallery Sculpture Garden rink in Washington, D.C.

Three ways to attend

Benefactor Table — $3,500. Six seats at a reserved, named table, confirmed on reservation. Recognition from the podium and in the program, priority seating at the closed-door summit, and a personal introduction from the Porter Brothers to the people you came to meet. If you're bringing your firm, this is the way to do it. Six tables only.

Patron Seat — $500. Your place confirmed immediately, with no approval queue and nothing to wait for. If you need certainty about September 18, this is the only way to have it.

General Application — free. Open to all, and every application is read. But it is a waitlist, most applicants will not be admitted, and decisions come close to the date.

Already holding a Blockchain Week VIP Pass? The Gala is included — no separate ticket needed.
