The Event

Three moments.
One weekend.

The Apex is not a party. It is a deliberately engineered weekend for the executives who move markets, allocate capital, and shape industries — set against the most electric backdrop in American motorsport.

Three intimate touchpoints across forty-eight hours. Every seat earned, not purchased. Every conversation consequential.

Nov 19

The Apex Dinner

FP1 ends at 19:30. The Apex begins at 19:45 — the only premium window between Practice 1 and Practice 2 (22:00). Simulators, seated dinner, and one annual dramatic moment: The Apex Leadership Recognition — a single acknowledgment of one figure in the room whose work has shaped an industry. The press hook that earns coverage the next morning.

Executive Breakfast

Late morning — completely clear of all track activity. The last quiet conversation before qualifying night (22:00) and the weekend goes full spectacle. Title sponsor hosts their most important clients alongside the room's most consequential voices from Thursday evening.

Pit Lane Intelligence

Saturday afternoon — 4 hours before the Grand Prix race (22:00). Peak energy, zero competing events. 90-minute closed-door session with a genuine insider. Golden Credential holders get private post-session access. The most exclusive access in business hospitality — held at the exact moment the city is at maximum voltage.

The Room

$2 billion in
purchasing authority.

Every invitation is deliberate. The Apex is built on the principle that the quality of the room determines the value of every conversation in it. We do not fill seats — we curate them.

Attendees are screened for decision-making authority, not title.

40%
C-suite executives from companies with $50M+ in annual revenue. Every single one a final decision-maker. The other 60% are capital allocators, civic leaders, and media.
C-Suite Executives40%
CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, CROs from $50M+ revenue companies
Capital Allocators20%

Civic & Government Leaders20%

"Direct access to the people who will actually make the call — not the people who report to them."

Why It Works

Off-track is where
deals close.

"

F1 hospitality is often talked about as a perk of sponsorship. For many companies it's actually one of the most commercially valuable parts of the entire partnership.

Race weekends bring senior decision-makers together in environments where conversations happen more naturally. Relationships deepen. New opportunities emerge. Deals move faster.

American Express in Las Vegas

Elevated the entire race weekend experience through priority access and curated hospitality. Transformed card membership into lifestyle currency. The model The Apex is built on.

Wynn Las Vegas — Ultimate Race Week

Wynn designated an entire week as "the city's epicenter for race and auto enthusiasts" and has already confirmed Nov 19–21, 2026 as the next edition. The premium infrastructure is in place. The executive hospitality layer is not.

Carlyle Group on Red Bull

First private equity firm on the F1 grid. Used B2B hospitality to close relationships worth multiples of the annual sponsorship cost. Relationship ROI, not logo ROI.

The Apex delivers this outcome at 1/100th the cost of an official F1 partnership
The Iconic Moment

Every great room has
one moment.

The Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala has run for 30 years. The reason is not the performances. It is one moment each year — when the room stops, and one person is acknowledged by their peers.

The Apex is built on the same principle.

Inaugural 2026
The Apex Leadership
Recognition

Presented annually at the Thursday dinner. No trophy. No ceremony. One moment — the room acknowledges one figure whose decisions shaped an industry in the past year.

Selected privately. Not voted on. Not applied for.
Announced at the dinner with no prior warning.
Title sponsor presents it — their name attached permanently.
Filmed. Circulates. People talk about it for 12 months.
The Annual Moment

The event people
talk about for a year.

Every iconic gathering has one moment that defines it. Clive Davis has the Salute to Industry Icons. Vanity Fair has the room itself.

The Apex has the Apex Leadership Recognition — an annual acknowledgment, during the Thursday dinner, of one figure whose career has shaped the intersection of sport, commerce, and culture.

No trophy. No stage speech. One room. One moment. Witnessed by 120 of the most consequential people in American business. This is the moment that travels — in conversations, in press, and in the rooms of people who weren't there but wish they were.

Year 1 — Nov 2026
The Apex Leadership Recognition

Presented to one figure in the room. Announced during the Thursday dinner. Covered the following morning. Remembered for the year that follows.

The Driver Moment
Wynn-Facilitated Paddock Access

Through our venue partnership, select Apex attendees gain access to F1 driver appearances facilitated through Wynn's Ultimate Race Week program. Current drivers have appeared at Wynn during each Las Vegas GP weekend. The Apex is the executive layer that sits inside that ecosystem.

The Institutional Benchmark
Clive Davis. Vanity Fair. Allen & Company.

The Grammys have a Clive Davis party. The Oscars have Vanity Fair. Business has Sun Valley. Formula 1 — the world's #1 sponsorship sport — has no equivalent. The Apex is the first.

Presenting & Supporting

Beyond the title.
Still exclusive.

Every sponsor tier is one company per category. No dilution. No competitors sharing the stage. First to sign owns their category for the year.

Presenting and supporting tiers give brands meaningful access to The Apex audience without the full weekend investment of the title tier.
