I'm looking for venues in NY and LA that have space for a half or full day conference for 200-250 people with room for breakouts and production space. We know the usual suspects (Convene, Glasshouse, major hotel chains, etc.) but wondering if there is anything else we may not know of. Bonus if LA venues have outdoor space. Thanks!
Check Smogshoppe, they have a lot of other venues too. It’s a little out of the ordinary but not too much.
@EventPlanner450 check out the London West Hollywood. It is a hotel but not part of a major chain. They have a theater for a breakout space. And they have outdoor space for breaks, networking, lunch, etc.
@EventPlanner391 thank you!
not sure how many breakout rooms you'd need but 10 hudson yards has a large auditorium space
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! :)

Hi All! Anyone have great experience in NY at a non-hotel venue for 300-500 guests? We're hosting keynotes + 1 breakout session and networking reception. Looking for unique venues that aren't hotel conference centers. LMK if anything comes to mind 🙂
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?
LA question — does anyone know of any conference centers in LA that are good for events (with breakout space) — kind of like Convene in New York? I am not familiar w/ any, but I thought those of you who are LA based might have some ideas. Looking for some other venue ideas (beyond hotels) for a program that requires breakout space, in addition to general session + meals. Neuehouse’s breakout space is a little too small. Want to make sure I haven’t left any stones unturned.
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 all — does anyone have reccos of party venues that fit ~900 people? Few notes:
• Targeting Manhattan
• Huge pro if they have in-house catering
• Looking for something more laid back (bar, restaurant) vs a Cipriani/Tao/Capitale. We were at Pier60 this year, which was great, but we like to switch it up 🙂
Appreciate any suggestions, thank you in advance!

Exploring new conference venues in NYC for 800 attendees if anyone knows of a hidden gem.
Glasshouse, Spring Studios, Pier 60 will exceed our budget with their prelim pricing over 300k. (they all mandate a load-in day for conferences)
Hi! does anyone know a good venue in NYC, maybe midtown, that has breakout rooms for sessions for around 200 people, seated theater style?
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.

Looking for a DMC/event production company recommendation to help me with the following (*highly ambitious) project: Company kick off event (2-3 day offsite, local + intl travel from Chile) for 1200 people in Jan 2024. Our CFO wants to see 3 budget scenarios for an event in Vegas, SF and 1 other location (Florida or Arizona) by EOW. Recognizing it's not realistic to pull detailed quotes & availability by then, but would love to provide a ballpark p/person estimate at least. Thank you!
Has anyone used a live scribe in New York? I'm looking for something like Scriberia but based in New York / the states more broadly.
