Entrepreneurs behind the Naked Diablo story bring business owners together in Las Vegas as new invitation-only dinners are planned internationally
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / October 24, 2026 / British entrepreneur, international bestselling author and media producer Marco Robinson and entrepreneur Rob Fitzpatrick have hosted the first in a planned series of international business dinners designed to connect entrepreneurs, investors and ambitious business owners with new commercial and television opportunities.
The inaugural gathering took place in Las Vegas, bringing together invited guests for an intimate evening of conversation, networking and business development with Robinson and Fitzpatrick.
Rather than following the conventional conference or seminar format, the dinner was designed around direct access and conversation - giving guests the opportunity to meet the entrepreneurs connected with the business story featured in the documentary How to Build a Billion Dollar Brand: The Naked Diablo Story, currently available through major streaming platforms including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

For Robinson and Fitzpatrick, however, the Las Vegas gathering was intended to become more than a one-off event.
Following the response to the dinner, the pair are now planning to take the concept to cities around the world.
From Television Story to Real-World Business Community
The idea behind the dinners is straightforward: bring ambitious people into the same room, allow genuine relationships to develop, and create opportunities that would be difficult to reproduce through online networking alone.
Robinson said the Las Vegas event demonstrated the demand for a more personal approach.
"Everybody talks about networking, but the most important opportunities in my life have usually happened because I got into the right room with the right people.
We wanted this to feel completely different from a conference. Sit down, have dinner, actually get to know people, understand what they are building and then see whether we can create opportunities together."
Guests at the Las Vegas gathering were able to speak directly with Robinson and Fitzpatrick about entrepreneurship, brand building, media and the process of turning businesses and personal stories into film and television concepts.
Robinson said feedback from attendees following the dinner was overwhelmingly positive and has encouraged the team to expand the format internationally.
A Global Series of Business Dinners
The Las Vegas gathering is now expected to become the prototype for a series of dinners in major international cities.
Future events will be designed to bring together entrepreneurs, investors, founders, creators and individuals with compelling personal or business stories.
The ambition extends beyond networking.
Robinson and Fitzpatrick intend to use the dinners as a way of identifying new business opportunities, potential collaborations and people whose stories could translate into television and documentary projects.
Selected attendees may also have opportunities to become involved in forthcoming screen productions or be considered for future television formats being developed around entrepreneurship, transformation and real-world business.
"The television projects are important, but what excites us just as much is discovering people," Robinson said.
"There are extraordinary entrepreneurs and extraordinary stories everywhere. Some people need investment. Some need connections. Some have a story that should be on television. We want these dinners to become places where those relationships can begin."
Building Businesses in Front of the Camera
The dinner series builds on Robinson and Fitzpatrick's existing involvement in business-focused entertainment.
Naked Diablo is also the subject of the unscripted series Tequila Empire, which follows the Fitzpatrick family and their wider business world as they work to develop the premium tequila brand.
The series explores the intersection between family, entrepreneurship, international expansion and the pressures involved in building a consumer brand.
Robinson's broader media portfolio includes Channel 4's Get a House for Free, the START OVER publishing and storytelling platform, and a growing slate of factual-entertainment projects.
His forthcoming production BEYOND THE BIRKIN is scheduled to begin filming in Miami in November 2026 and will focus on women succeeding in business, careers and life beyond conventional symbols of status.
He is also developing THE COMEBACK, a factual entertainment concept centred on people rebuilding their lives following major personal, professional or financial setbacks.
The increasingly connected nature of those projects is deliberate.
Publishing creates stories.
Television gives those stories greater reach.
Live events bring the people behind those stories into the same room.
And the new dinner series is intended to connect all three.
Why Las Vegas
Las Vegas was a natural location for the first gathering.
Beyond its global reputation for entertainment, the city has developed into an increasingly important meeting point for entrepreneurs, investors, hospitality businesses, consumer brands and entertainment companies.
It also has an existing connection to the Naked Diablo story and the broader television content surrounding the brand.
For Robinson, holding the first dinner there allowed the concept to begin in a city where business and entertainment routinely intersect.
"Las Vegas understands experience," Robinson said. "People don't just come here to attend something. They want to feel part of something.
That is exactly what we want these dinners to become."
More Than Networking
The longer-term objective is to build an international community around opportunity rather than simply stage events.
Future dinners are expected to combine curated guest lists with business introductions, media opportunities and direct conversations with Robinson, Fitzpatrick and other entrepreneurs involved in their expanding network.
There will also be a strong emphasis on identifying people with stories suitable for future film and television projects.
Rather than open-entry mass events, the intention is to maintain an intimate environment where attendees have genuine access to the people in the room.
Robinson said:
"If you put hundreds or thousands of people in a room, it can be inspiring, but you don't necessarily build relationships.
At dinner, you actually talk. You find out what somebody does, what they need and what they could contribute. That's where opportunities start."
From Las Vegas to the World
Following the success of the first event, Robinson and Fitzpatrick are now exploring further dinners in the United States and internationally.
The concept is expected to evolve as it moves between cities, but the central idea will remain the same:
Bring ambitious people together, create meaningful business relationships, identify remarkable stories and open doors into a growing international media and entrepreneurial network.
For Robinson, the project represents another extension of a career increasingly operating at the intersection of business, publishing and entertainment.
"We're not interested in hosting dinners just so people can say they attended," he said.
"The goal is that somebody leaves having met a future business partner, investor, client, collaborator - or potentially having started a journey that ends with their story being told on television.
Las Vegas showed us that this works. Now we want to take it around the world."
