HOUSTON, July 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- alliantgroup is proud to host the inaugural Cocktails & Cosmos event taking place on July 26th at Cottonwood, a gastropub within the Oak Forest/Garden Oaks area of Houston. The stargazing event is the first of its kind for the tax consultancy firm that has publicly voiced its concern regarding the lack of emphasis placed on STEM-related careers for young professionals. The event will highlight the wonders of STEM as alliantgroup plays host to special guests, team members, amateur astronomers and telescope enthusiasts for an evening that is billed to be "out of this world".

"I have always been a huge advocate for promoting STEM education, and astronomy is one of my favorite personal activities, so I could not be more excited for this event," said alliantgroup CEO Dhaval Jadav. "Our goal with this event is to bring people together to learn, share and engage with one another, and I truly feel this event will present an excellent opportunity to accomplish just that."

Those in attendance will enjoy delicious bites and specialty drinks like the "Supernova", "Martians Take Manhattan", "Moon Shot" and the "Blue Alien". In addition, the event will have high-powered telescopes available for use provided by the Houston Astronomical Society, whose members will also be on hand to assist with guiding the stargazers through the galaxy.
