Hi all! I'm looking for private event spaces to host a happy hour in Austin - ideally near the convention center. Thanks!
Hi @EventPlanner298 - I just joined this Slack Community and I have called Austin home for 29 years. How many people are you trying to host and what time of year? Do you want indoor/outdoor and any specific vibe? And is it purely a HH location or you need to have other activations there?
Omg you are a life saver!! We're looking to host a happy hour for around 75 people (max 100) in March. Would love an indoor/outdoor space or even a rooftop! The Edge Rooftop at the JW Marriott is my #1 choice right now but would love to explore others around Rainey street (our event is at the convention center so if we could be within walking distance that would be ideal). Just a happy hour but we're looking to possibly bring in a photo booth or some additional AV. Thank you!!!
The Edge Rooftop is nice at the JW Marriott; you might actually find it too large for your group of 75. I have to ask - your group dates do NOT overlap SXSW dates right as that will affect pricing and availability?
if you like this look, I think this space would be the perfect buyout for your group - again depending if this is NOT overlapping SXSW, the price may be high - https://www.foxysproperpub.com/
Yes the event will be during SXSW - we're looking at March 14 or 15
ok then you're probably going to run into some issues with already a lot of spaces bought out so my recommendation would be prepared to be sticker shocked
That place looks great - I'll definitely reach out!
be/c Foxy is probably is probably already bought out but worth reaching out to them

Hi all! I'm currently planning a team offsite in Austin, TX the first week of February and wondering if anyone has any recommendations for an evening activity. We will have about 60 people and at our last onsite in NYC we spent an evening at Swingers (adult mini golf) which was a huge hit so looking for something a bit similar that has an activity element.
Good Morning Everyone 🌻

Hello!! I am looking for a US swag vendor that is FANTASTIC at logistics/shipping. We sadly have had quite a few hiccups with our current vendor on the shipping and fulfillment side so wanted to see if anyone has a vendor they recommend. Asks are that they can hold all inventory and that they have the functionality of a 'store' for us to place orders from. Thanks!
Following Carter's Houston question... I'm helping a colleague find a retreat space in the Houston area (5 C-suite folks for one weekend). She doesn't want a corporate space or standard hotel, and wants it to have some sort of access to nature. Their budget is about $600/day. We're finding LOTS of religious-leaning retreat spaces & hotels in my search but nothing that fits her requirements. Any recs?
