JOE GANNONE: Curating Crowds, Building Empires, Creating Experiences.

At just 24, Joe Gannone has already carved his place as one of hospitality’s rising names. Raised on Long Island with Italian heritage, he grew up between the grit of Manorville and the luxury of the Hamptons — learning early how different worlds come together. From the wrestling mat to the nightlife stage, Joe carried the discipline, intensity, and drive of an athlete into building a career in hospitality, swapping matches for music, crowds, and culture.

What sets Joe apart isn’t just filling a room — it’s curating the right energy: the perfect mix of people, music, and vibe that transforms a party into an experience. From his first house gatherings that packed the block to creating brands like Social Pressure and Sessions, Joe has shown a rare instinct for culture creation. His vision goes beyond nightlife — toward festivals, lifestyle ventures, and ultimately a hospitality ecosystem stretching from New York to Miami and beyond.
