I guess awards ceremonies are in the air! Im also planing an awards cermeony for the first time 😮 Happy to brainstorm @EventPlanner859
I wanted to ask the group, does anyone know of a nice space I can use to host an awards ceremnoy for 150 people for $20k all in? (venue, f&b, av) - I feel like it might be an unrealistic number from the team, but thought id ask!
The Whitby Hotel has a theater space and stage for 140ish people. Tight for that budget.
Midnight Theater is a great space in Hudson Yards area for 150, tight though for that price point but they’re new so possibly open to negotiation
Echoing The Midnight Theater for this as a strong rec.
Thank you both! I will look into it
Hi colleagues - I'm looking to do a screening for about 150-ish ppl on 11/2 in NYC - in the evening. (This is all last-minute.) I'm looking into a few spaces, but would love to hear from you on what spaces you recommend.
Looking for a venue that can accommodate the following flow:
• A VIP reception (w/ drinks & hors d'oeuvres ) for 40-50 ppl, 40 mins prior to the general call-time
• Screening area would open at the general call-time and wld have drinks and food for the rest of the guests that arrive
• Once we have critical mass in the screening area we'll begin to intro the film and show it
• After the screening well do a talk-back/ Q&A with folx from the film
• Event ends
Thanks all!

<!here>, we're kicking off this channel to be a dedicated space to support one another as event tech continues to rapidly evolve. This post on LinkedIn inspired me to ask - are you willing to share your event tech stack with the group here? It might help inspire other members to look into new solutions, or ask for your more specific advice or opinion on tech you currently use. As a reminder, we also have the #ai-for-events channel for those interested.
