Welcome receptions are often good places for expanding one's network.
Within a single event, you would often find attendees from various industries, statuses, and ranks.
Take this particular event for example: even though it's a gathering for the finance industry, the invitees include not only leaders from the relevant trade associations, CEOs of various companies, senior executives but also stars and such.
Money, power, and charm are never standalone entities; they blend seamlessly amidst the clinking of glasses and the lingering fragrance of fine attire.
