The trendy Chicago restaurant made the perfect setting for the team to come together in an intimate private room to enjoy great Asian fusion fare and delicious cocktails from Avión Reserva 44 tequila. Guests savored Avión Reserva 44 neat, on the rocks, or tried one of the spirit’s inventive cocktails created with Avión Silver, Reposado, and Añejo tequilas.

As guests mixed and mingled throughout the private room, they got to admire the stunning Hublot timepieces on display courtesy of the luxury Swiss brand’s Chicago boutique, Geneva Seal Fine Jewelry and Timepieces. Attendees also got to chat with the Jetsmarter team and get exclusive deals on membership packages, which they found very necessary due to their busy traveling schedules.
