She said, “We know that it can be difficult for businesses and teams to pull off an end-of-year party with the kind of high-end production quality they often desire, so four years ago we came up with this idea of a shared event. We employ the design-led approach of ‘no surprises events’ to bring together companies from diverse industries.”

“Every year, there are so many relationships that start and grow from shared memories at TUXP. Seeing hard working teams have a great time at TUXP is one of the highlights of my year. I am excited for TUXP this year to return with the Party in White theme, celebrating new beginnings and fresh ideas ahead of what promises to be an incredible new year,” she added.
