Hi All.. does anyone have a swag recommendation for the following (i've searched the thread but no luck):
• 3 x options (a backpack, duffle weekender and a tote that works for a laptop)
• Leather if possible but most likely too expensive, so faux leather if not
• Sustainable if possible, but if not at this stage then we are aware on timelines
• Backpack reference image below
• 400 x units (can be a mix of all 3 items)
• Cost per item - $100-$130 including branding
• Delivery to New York by 28th September
Hi all, I am working on a cool/interesting stage backdrop for an event at the end of October. We love the look of this backdrop from a Goldman event. I am working with Hensley and Blueprint to see what they can offer. If you’ve used a Bay Area company for a cool stage backdrop and you’d recommend them, I’d love to hear from you. We do not have a unlimited budget so bonus points for something that’s impactful but not crazy $$$ 🙂 Also pricing out plant walls….

Not a "new" venue, but it is definitely a venue that pleasantly surprised me last week- I hosted a group of 50 people for a lunch & learn + cocktail reception in Chicago at Spin, and we had a WONDERFUL experience. I usually select more traditional event spaces like hotels for this style of corporate event, but everything from the food quality to the existing furniture around the space and the service pre and during was 10/10. I primarily chose this venue because of the location, but I also wanted to host a fun activity after the meeting to keep attendees around for my sales team. Spin was perfect on all fronts! The company I work for is high-growth SAAS, so the edgy design was totally fine for us. I've attached a few of my pictures from the event here.

Hi! I’m trying to find a breakfast spot near javits but not seeing Hudson yards in the vendry as a neighborhood option. I’m not a local, so any thoughts on what neighborhood I should try instead?
What: New Jersey-East Asia Economic Mission
Where: Tokyo, Hiroshima, Seoul, Taipei, Hsinchu
When: October 13-22, 2023
Who: 60+ delegates
What went well:
• The delegates were thrilled to go on New Jersey’s most expansive economic mission ever. 40+ MOUs, partnerships, and important contracts were signed, including a drivers license reciprocity agreement with NJ and the Korean National Police association.
• Positive press all around. We got lots of write-ups in local media. Having a reporter on the ground with us helped.
• Governor Murphy was able to meet with the head of state in every country - not something all Govs get to do. He even brought a guitar signed by Bon Jovi as a gift for a music-loving high-ranking individual.
• Overall, I just can’t believe I successfully planned logistics, managed 90 meetings/sessions/events, and moved 60+ people, including the Gov, his family, and their security, across so many countries/cities with no major issues. Definitely my biggest accomplishment ever.
For next time:
• My events team was way too small (ie, it was a one-woman show of just me) and I lost not only an extraordinary amount of sleep but my mind a few times too. I’m advocating for an event coordinator to be added to my team now.
• Hoping for a longer lead planning time for the next economic mission.
• Still learning to navigate the world of politics/politicians. Personalities, rules, and processes much different than I’m used to.
• Need to buy comfortable shoes. My plantar fasciitis was really on fire this whole time with the literal running around we had to do. In the past, I could wear sneakers but with this crowd I had to be in dress shoes all the time. My Naturalizer loafers did not deliver on the promised support. Time to buy good insoles!

Hello, all. I’m taking about 25 female executives from Boston to NYC to meet their executive community counterparts for two days of fun and connections. These women know each other through an online community but may or may not have met in person yet. We have some receptions and meetups scheduled, but I am also interested in an intimate dinner location that I can work with to craft the ideal dining experience, with beautiful decor/an all-inclusive curated menu, in a unique setting. I would love two recommendations: 1. Favorite 4-5 star hotels in Flatiron District with a contact name 2. Restaurant recommendation for dinner for 30. This is not a sponsored event, so the ladies will all be paying on their own; as a member of the Community, I am looking to build in some structure! Welcome your expertise!
