On Sunday the 26th of April 2026, Ivy Societe welcomes you to the 5th Annual SWer Only Gala; an evening that is more than just a party. This year’s theme, The Inner Circle, is designed to bring sex workers together in a warm, welcoming space where real conversations happen and genuine connections are made.
In an industry where many of us work independently, this night is about finding your people. Meet new faces, reconnect with familiar ones, and build friendships and professional networks that continue long after the event ends. With a strong focus on social connection, community, and meaningful introductions, the evening is intentionally designed to help you expand your circle, share experiences, and walk away not just with memories but with new friends and supportive industry connections.
