Event Theme: Winter Fire – Noir

This year, Winter Fire invites you to step into the seductive and shadowy world of Noir. Inspired by the iconic Film Noir genre, we’re embracing an expansive vision of 1920s and 1930s glamour—think sultry flappers, speakeasy intrigue, and the opulence of the Great Gatsby era. The historic charm of our conference hotel, built in the late 1920s, sets the perfect stage for a weekend steeped in vintage decadence and mystery. Whether you’re donning pinstripes, sequins, or sticking to classic scene attire, you’ll feel right at home at our themed parties, mixers, and immersive experiences. Come revel in the allure of an era where shadows tell stories, elegance meets edge, and everyone has a secret waiting to unfold.
