Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear?

We wear green on Fridays, but this event is on Thursday… so we’ll be sporting fun business casual.

When should I arrive?

The party starts at 7:00pm + a presentation at 7:45pm (this is the part you don’t want to miss!)

Why $45 per ticket?

$90 empowers one new Seed Effect member. When you purchase your ticket (and bring a friend!), you’ve already started the party by empowering your first member of the night!

What does my ticket include?

You get drinks + delicious hors d’oeuvres to celebrate the evening!

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Don’t worry about it, we’ll have your name on the guest list!

What are my transportation/parking options?

Complimentary event valet parking is available when you arrive at The Loft at Gilley’s Dallas.

Will there be food?

Of course! You can’t have a party without snacks! We will have passed appetizers and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) for you to enjoy.
