Hi all — I’m looking for a special ski OR outdoor resort for an offsite in Jan in mountain west or Canada. Something out of the box and unique. Any favorites that can be suggested? ideally a buyout or close to it for 65 ppl / 4-5 stars. I’ve got a pulse on the larger well known properties but looking for that diamond. Thx!
Powder Mountain in Utah may be a good option. They don't have a hotel but have an incredible array of modern ski in/ski out homes and private event spaces (like the Sky Lodge) that you could rent out. Great private chefs, massage therapists, musicians, yoga instructors, etc in that area to make it a luxe experience.
Thank you!
Whistler or Banff would be the obvious choices for west coast Canada
You could look at Sunshine or COP (Canadian Olympic park) in Alberta
Check out the Auberge mountain properties if not already on your radar
Ah yes, Auberge properties are great! The Lodge at Blue Sky outside of Park City was great: https://aubergeresorts.com/bluesky/?NCK=8445736056&gclid=CjwKCAjw-7OlBhB8EiwAnoOEkwWauolgTJY9EJ-O7BlGDueKHOebT87KF9RBbpxalEl0FUPxkcFzWxoCX0EQAvD_BwE

Details:
Very low budget-like $1500 (food not necessary)

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.

Not a "new" venue, but it is definitely a venue that pleasantly surprised me last week- I hosted a group of 50 people for a lunch & learn + cocktail reception in Chicago at Spin, and we had a WONDERFUL experience. I usually select more traditional event spaces like hotels for this style of corporate event, but everything from the food quality to the existing furniture around the space and the service pre and during was 10/10. I primarily chose this venue because of the location, but I also wanted to host a fun activity after the meeting to keep attendees around for my sales team. Spin was perfect on all fronts! The company I work for is high-growth SAAS, so the edgy design was totally fine for us. I've attached a few of my pictures from the event here.

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!

Hi Friends-
I was wondering if anyone here has planned a offsite in either Spain, France or Portugal. With that being said looking for something that would not be more than a 1:45 train ride from the International Airport. Most of the attendees will be flying in from the states. Looking for luxury, something that has greenery (lol) that they can do a hike or something in the morning and come back and head into meetings for most of the day. Something that is WOW and takes your breath away!
Thank you an in advance.
I have scoured The Vendry's website & client isn't excited about the options I've presented to date - looking for the following:
• Suitable private venue (meaning we can fully buy it out for multiple days) that ideally has both indoor & outdoor space comfortable for 400 guests reception style; food stations & a large stage area for the private talent. Here's the kicker must be on the Miami Beach side of Miami. Please reply in thread if you have any great venues that fit this size and location. TIA
One of our clients is looking for a scenic nature place (preferably secluded) with accommodation and activity space for 40-50 people. 4 days (3 nights). Arrive on a Thursday, stay on Friday/Saturday, and leave on a Sunday. Location preference is South Carolina, North Carolina or the southern Virginia region. Not interested in locations with religious affiliation. Community building theme, peaceful and inspiring is the vibe. Event dates are flexible; looking at doing the event two times a year; fall and summer. Need meeting space, breakout space, and outdoor activity space. Full-service venue; service staff, dining facilities, housekeeping, etc. I appreciate any input from venue suggestions to partnering on wow’ing this client.
Producing an incentive next year at the Rosewood Mayakoba. I’m looking for a more bespoke DMC. They sent me over their preferred list, but wondering if any of you have a favorite.

We will have about 50 people. TY!!
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.
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!
Anyone have an unexpected location in LA for a conference of 800?
Hey guys! I’m once again in search of a private dining room for 20 ppl in NYC (Preferably Manhattan).

Open to any ideas and suggestions so thanks in advance! 😊
Hi all! We have two events in New York, Nov 29 and Dec 6, and the hotel rates started high and have reached crazy high levels. Attendees pay their own hotel and we don't do blocks for these smaller meetings. I expected the rates to be higher due to proximity to holidays but even the most basic hotels are at $1000/night. Any creative ideas for how to help our attendees find something reasonable? Hidden gems with miracle prices? Stay outside the city and offer a shuttle? I am open to anything!
Hi! I’m trying to find a breakfast spot near javits but not seeing Hudson yards in the vendry as a neighborhood option. I’m not a local, so any thoughts on what neighborhood I should try instead?
What: New Jersey-East Asia Economic Mission
Where: Tokyo, Hiroshima, Seoul, Taipei, Hsinchu
When: October 13-22, 2023
Who: 60+ delegates
What went well:
• The delegates were thrilled to go on New Jersey’s most expansive economic mission ever. 40+ MOUs, partnerships, and important contracts were signed, including a drivers license reciprocity agreement with NJ and the Korean National Police association.
• Positive press all around. We got lots of write-ups in local media. Having a reporter on the ground with us helped.
• Governor Murphy was able to meet with the head of state in every country - not something all Govs get to do. He even brought a guitar signed by Bon Jovi as a gift for a music-loving high-ranking individual.
• Overall, I just can’t believe I successfully planned logistics, managed 90 meetings/sessions/events, and moved 60+ people, including the Gov, his family, and their security, across so many countries/cities with no major issues. Definitely my biggest accomplishment ever.
For next time:
• My events team was way too small (ie, it was a one-woman show of just me) and I lost not only an extraordinary amount of sleep but my mind a few times too. I’m advocating for an event coordinator to be added to my team now.
• Hoping for a longer lead planning time for the next economic mission.
• Still learning to navigate the world of politics/politicians. Personalities, rules, and processes much different than I’m used to.
• Need to buy comfortable shoes. My plantar fasciitis was really on fire this whole time with the literal running around we had to do. In the past, I could wear sneakers but with this crowd I had to be in dress shoes all the time. My Naturalizer loafers did not deliver on the promised support. Time to buy good insoles!
Looking for an affordable florist for a dinner - part of a sales kick off in LA. The event is at the JW Marriott LA Live. Not a huge budget - $6K.

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?

Good Morning! Have any of your planned /executed private group events in any of the Walt Disney World (Orlando) parks before? I've got a dinner and buyout of 2 attractions planned in Epcot for 600 (Contract signed and site visit complete). They've been great so far but since this is my first time working an event in their park and with their catering team I don't know what I don't know and would appreciate any tips of things I _should_ know that they may not tell you in advance. If you've thought "if only I knew that sooner" - I want to know! Would love to connect with anyone who can offer advice. Thank you!

Hello, all. I’m taking about 25 female executives from Boston to NYC to meet their executive community counterparts for two days of fun and connections. These women know each other through an online community but may or may not have met in person yet. We have some receptions and meetups scheduled, but I am also interested in an intimate dinner location that I can work with to craft the ideal dining experience, with beautiful decor/an all-inclusive curated menu, in a unique setting. I would love two recommendations: 1. Favorite 4-5 star hotels in Flatiron District with a contact name 2. Restaurant recommendation for dinner for 30. This is not a sponsored event, so the ladies will all be paying on their own; as a member of the Community, I am looking to build in some structure! Welcome your expertise!
