Hi everyone, hope all is well! I’m in the market for a new venue in downtown Seattle and looking for recommendations. A small - mid-size space that could fit ~ 50 people banquet style, ideally with in-house catering & AV but not a deal-breaker if either have to be outsourced! Any recs will be much appreciated 🙂

Hi All! Gearing up to increase our networking virtual events again this winter and wondering if anyone has recs for companies you've worked with for tasting events.

Hi @here I hope you are all doing well. We are planning our companies holiday party and wanted to reach out to see if you had any great activation recommendations.

Happy Friday all! Looking for some tech forward event "wow factors" to include in a CES cocktail party this coming January. Found a robot bartender but working to think a bit more outside the box! Open to any and all suggestions! Thanks a bunch!
Any recos for NYC-based caricature artists? Not too edgy but something cooler than a boardwalk artist...
Good morning all! Looking for a fun photo backdrop for an event in NYC - maybe flower wall or other cool modern look/feel. Any favorite vendors for this? Thanks in advance
What virtual event platform do you all use? Has anyone ever used Goldcast? I am looking to host a half day virtual user conference in the spring. Whatever we pick must have multi track capabilities and a sponsor showcase area. We currently use Demio for webinars (very simple tool) and tried AirMeet (hated it).
Anyone planning a SKO and select great swag for their team? Budget is TBD but we have a pretty high bar for swag — Vuori joggers, Fellow mugs, Veja sneaks...
