What: Team Happy Hour
Where: Dear Irving on Hudson (NYC)
When: August 2023
Who: 60 team members
What went well: stunning space with spectacular skyline views. Roman, their events manager, is great to work with. Great food too.
For next time: it is located in the Times Square and I always worry about the hassle anyone has walking through there, but worth it!
Haven’t seen branded buns before. Cool branding opportunity!!
Roman is SO great, my team still talks about our Dear Irving HH from 2022!
Hi everyone, I’m looking for a private room at a bar (in Manhattan) to host an event for a non profit I’m part of.
Details:
Very low budget-like $1500 (food not necessary)
Approx 60-75 ppl.
Date tbd but tues-thurs
We'd likely do either open bar for an hour/drink tickets and then cash bar for remainder.
The non profit benefits a cause within the Jewish community, so bonus if owner of bar supports said community, as I may be able to negotiate a bit easier due to vested interest in potential support of non profit mission.
Thank you in advance for any leads!

<!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.
