The Divo Series is the male counterpart to the popular “Diva Series” and is monthly at the House of Blues Foundation Room. The event will honor men in Sports, Media, Business, Music, Art and much more.

“After I started the Diva Series, all the men asked, what about us? ”says Maven Founder and President Sarah Vargo. “Luckily for me, Divo means ‘male superstar’ in Italian. I knew then I had to start the Divo Series – the men need recognition too. The Divo Series was born.”

The Divo Series successfully launched in March 2009 at Bull & Bear and since then Maven has hosted the event at District and Gerber Group’s “The Whiskey” on Rush. “I am so excited to relaunch the series at the eclectic and cozy House of Blues Foundation room. It’s a special treat for me to take my guests to this exclusive venue and label it the Divo home…or should I say throne?” remarks Vargo.

Event sponsors include Nicholas Joseph Custom Suits, Goorin Bros. Hats and WebRev Marketing. There will be drink and food specials available during the event.

The event is a casual and fun networking opportunity. While there is no formal ceremony, Vargo greets the guests with a short thank you speech and the Divos have a chance to promote any projects they are working on. Vargo explains that most of the recognition actually happens over social media channels and traditional media before and after the event.

Vargo hopes someday to put the Diva and Divo Series on a national and even global map. “I feel that everyone needs encouragement and recognition. I love how excited people get about this. It keeps people motivated, driven and is an inspiration to the next generation of Diva and Divos. I will toast the Divas with some bubbly and drink scotch with the Divos and throw them the best party to celebrate their success,” she says with a smile.
