Eight Star Global™
Become a Steward of Resources
Stewardship
Eight Star Global is an idea founded on the belief that wealth is created through collaboration. Our events establish luxury as a baseline, not as an indulgence, and remind us that the finer things in life are meant to be shared with the broader community. Under an Eight Star Global roof, leaders of today come together for the conversations, connections, and opportunities that shape culture, create momentum, and move society forward.
Each experience is carefully designed to encourage real connection with the people and ideas that matter. We value class, intention, and presence. We gather around exceptional food, elevated culture, and thoughtful competition. We collaborate with charities and organizations on site to enable direct giving, and we work alongside businesses that uphold this same ethos. All eight points of our star pull from every sector of society, bringing them together under one roof in unity for an unparalleled sense of wholeness. Guided by our North Star, we balance chaos and order, competition and class, ambition and charity, directing collective energy toward the greatest good.
The Eight Star Experience
Our Structure
Set inside The State Room, this evening blends competition, fashion, and atmosphere for a gathering in the heart of Albany.
A limited $1,500 cash-prize poker tournament will take place, capped at 30 seated players. Each tournament entry includes reserved seating with the option for the player’s business logo displayed at their table position throughout the night. One winner takes all.
For those attending without playing, a small number of General Admission tickets are available, allowing guests to observe the live tournament and take part in the evening’s broader experience.
The program also includes a runway presentation, integrated naturally into the flow of the night rather than staged as a standalone show.
Guests can expect in-house food served throughout the evening, a Blackjack lounge running continuously with select prizes provided by partner brands, and an intentionally elevated social setting designed for presence, conversation, and measured competition.
A strict dress code is in effect: suit and tie required for men, formal evening attire for women.
