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?
How about a cruise with drinks? The group is small enough so there’s a lot of different options for boats and routes?
I was thinking that too! The Vendry did that last year and it was pretty amazing.
Ping Pong at SPIN, Arcade games at Slate, Five iron Golf or anything at Chelsea Piers. City Winery has great experiences, wine tastings etc. I've also been hearing a lot of great things about Journey on 23rd. Its an immersive dinner experience with 360 projections.
^^ wow these are all amazing @EventPlanner180!!
Thanks! I like to have a good time LOL

In addition to my question above, does anyone have good offsite activities that will take ~2 hours for an offsite in July in NYC for a group of ~20-25 executives? Something not too touristy, but fun/cool, can be team building.

Hey NY Event Pros! Has anyone ever planned an event at either Pier Sixty or Chelsea Piers (team bonding program)? @Unknown and I are planning our company 2-day All Hands event and are leaning towards those venues. Curious if anyone has anecdotal feedback to share. Thanks!
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!
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.

I’m working on putting together a template for the team to show to leadership with where we want to show up, investment level, type of event, past KPIs, and any other relevant information.. does anyone have recs on how to do this outside of excel?

<!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.
We are planning some private dining events in NYC and I'm curious if there are any hidden gems of event spaces or private dining rooms (Manhattan) that folks would recommend. Dinners will be about 25 people. We did the last one at Little Owl Townhouse and loved it!!
