Hi! does anyone know of an event space in NY for around 250-300 people to have a speaking session (theater style) and then a space lo have lunch?
This can serve as a starting point.... https://thevendry.com/venues/usa/ny/new-york?s1=400
We're redoing our venue search so you'll see a better experience, soon!
Any particular area? Hotel? Non-hotel? Budget range?
@EventPlanner900 I recently did an event at Convene Brookfield Place that was able to accommodate this!
Agree Convene is a nice spot and large enough where you dont feel suffocated in all day conference
I think company ventures may have space as well (but that might be more for 200 people)
@EventPlanner900 Does it need to be a sitdown lunch? We’re using SECOND NYC for an event for 250 - but our lunch is a networking lunch.
Hi all! I’m looking for a venue in NYC that will hold up to 250 people theatre style. I did this at spring studios last year which was obviously gorgeous but had to bring in own stage, chairs, etc. Looking for something more turnkey yet still well known. Let me know if you can help! :)
I am looking for some event venue options in Manhattan - ideally with the capacity of 250-300 people theater style (space for meals) and a minimum of 2 breakout rooms. We prefer not totally raw spaces. Any ideas for me 🙂
Does anyone have a direct contact for Convene NYC? I feel like anytime I fill out their form it takes weeks to get back to me.
Hi! does anyone know a good venue in NYC, maybe midtown, that has breakout rooms for sessions for around 200 people, seated theater style?
Hey! Can anyone think of a space that would work for a half day event with presentations and a mini exhibition for about 50 ppl? Preferably a venue that would have a lobby area for the exhibition and a presentation room with AV tech inhouse (not a huge budget). This is for May 2024 and a side event for NYCxDesign 2024. There’s been initial talks of Williamsburg as a location but it could be in Manhattan too. Happy to hear any suggestions for exciting venues so thanks in advance!
Looking for a NYC venue in Meatpacking or Chelsea to accommodate 150 theater style with a separate lunch and reception space. Natural light is a must. Female owners/affiliation a plus.
Hi NYC peeps - I'm on the hunt for a venue in either Manhattan or Brooklyn that has built in broadcast capabilities. Our client loves a warehouse vibe but not a lot of AV or broadcast capabilities are going to be built in there. Why built-in? Cost savings -- my hope is that if I find a place that has some of our broadcast needs built in it will save us some money on our overall outside AV costs. I've been in touch with Convene already but would love any suggestions you may have. Thanks!
I'm looking for a great #NYC (Manhattan) venue for a business conference. The space needs to have: (1) a general session room with stage that can comfortably hold between 200-250 people in classroom- or half-round table format; (2) at least two additional breakout rooms that can hold at least 50 people each in classroom or half-round format, and (3) vendor / sponsor space where they can set up tables and network. The event will be held in late September or early to mid October 2024 for 2 consecutive days (not including a Monday). Might you have an easy way to find options?
Does anyone have a direct contact for Convene NYC? I swear any time I submit a request via their website, it takes weeks for them to respond
Anyone know if DC venues for 150 pax similar to Convene? We have been in hotels before but the client liked the all in aspect of Convene in NYC. We have a fixed date and their DC location isn’t available. Thank you!

Hi all! Looking for a super high-end restaurant in NYC with a private dining room that can accommodate a dinner for about 20-25 ppl.

Hi hi! My friend at JPMorgan was tapped to plan a happy hour type of offsite/team building in the city for approximately 30 people with a budget of $5,000. She wants something that isn't just drinks but has an activity or experience to go along with it. Any suggestions?
