Famous founder of Virgin Group, Richard Branson has opened a pop-up Virgin Atlantic bar in front of the New York Stock Exchange starting at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
Virgin has called the event "Conversations in a Cloud" and will have a pop-up business panel where people can ask Branson and other entrepreneurs questions.
The bar in actuality is Virgin Atlantic's redesigned Upper Class bar which is located on business class suites in its new Airbus A330s but they are taking the lounge to land for this unprecedented New York event. In the swanky bar, its curtains are adorned with Swarovski crystals.
Interested parties cannot just show up however and expect a face to face with Branson. In order to get a session with the founder himself follow @VAAintheUSA and explain in 140 words or less why you deserve a one on one with Branson and include the hashtag #CloudConvos.
Winners with the best answer will get five minutes with each panelist and signed copies of Like a Virgin: Secrets They Won't Teach You at Business School, Branson's new book.
Chris Rossi, senior vice president at Virgin Atlantic said to USA Today, "Some of the world's most famous companies were born out of a casual conversation."
Here are a few that have come in through twitter already:
Caryn Eaton @CarynEaton: @VAAintheUSA Ten cities, seven queens, four talents, one master plan. We are building integrated sustainable entertainment #CloudConvos
Colin Charles @bytebot: @VAAintheUSA Tablet-based monthly media, with daily news bites, but monthly thoughtful content. Niche publishing. Good idea? #CloudConvos
