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. I have two but was told they are too “much” but now I can’t stop thinking about them. They are a lot for a Christmas party but I digress. Would love to hear reccos! Thank you!
now I want to know what the two were 😉!
+1 !!
Same!!
Also, where are you hosting your party? Happy to think of some ideas that play into your venue and/or theme
I also want to know the two ideas, now!
hahaha so one is a company I think I saw because of Daphne and it was temporary tattoos and the other was piercings. I thankfully sent it to a smaller group first and they were like… umm no.
what about https://baristart.com/? I've used him before and he's awesome! 365 photo booth?
Honestly I love a good magician. I know it’s cheesy. This guy is really good our team saw him live at the McKittrick hotel he had the audience pretty shook https://thevendry.com/pro/10544/fun-corporate-magic-new-york-ny
live art fun too, this lady does cool stuff https://thevendry.com/pro/376/chiara-mecozzi-live-art-new-york-ny
My friend just hired this guy for Pendo https://thevendry.com/pro/647/napkin-killa-new-york-ny
Napkin Killa is dope!!
Another live art moment that's really beautiful and subtle. He does onsite watercolor/pen portraits of guests and in like 7 minutes or less. it's wild. https://www.instagram.com/aekieren/
Can't for the life of me remember the company but there's a nyc based team that does caricatures on ipads of the crowd and then sends them to them digitally - fun and pretty tame!
Drawing booth!
There's a lady in Philly that does Tarot cards - I'm sure someone in NY does the same.
Any recos for NYC-based caricature artists? Not too edgy but something cooler than a boardwalk artist...
Hey, hey: Any suggestions for a NYC based magician who does corporate events?
Hi All,
Wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations for an artist. I have used Napkin Killa in the past but wanted to see if anyone knew of someone in the Miami area?
Hey everyone. Looking for some unique activation ideas for our own company’s holiday party. We’ve done all the usual stuff. Does anyone have any outside the box ideas I can pitch internally.
Can anyone recommend a digital artist to do on-site drawings like this during an event? We want it to be shareable by attendees on social media in the moment.
Hi everyone!
I have a friend looking for venue ideas in NYC for a creative offsite for 80 people, the CEO does not want anything that feels like an office setting.
It’s a startup so budget is a constraint but we have flex.
I’d so appreciate your expert help if you have a few mins! Thank you!
Hi all! I’m searching for a mentalist/magician for an event in Austin TX in September. We want someone that’s cost effective (budget around $5-8K) but also isn’t cheesy/lame!
Hi! I’m working on some field marketing initiatives in NYC and my initial thought was a suite at a Yankees game BUT those are crazy expensive 😂 any other fun activities come to mind?
ISO fun tradeshow booth activation ideas.
We are brainstorming ideas for an in-booth activation for one of clients -- they are in a 20x20 booth at a B2B technology event coming up this fall.
What are some fun, cool, interesting things you've seen done at tradeshows recently. I'm all ears ... and in need of some inspiration. 💜
Hosting a founder networking event in NYC & want to encourage social posting! A photo booth feels like too much in networking environment - has anyone else seen a different photo setup that works well? Ideally guests would get photos as they're taken
Any NYC based magicians folks recommend? Reached out to a few listed on The Vendry - Gary Ferrar and Ryan Oakes 🪄
Other than leather stamping, or screen printing - does anyone have any swag or similar stations you can bring to a trade show or conference? Something that happens live and guests get a takeaway of some kind!
Hi all. I'm looking for a vendor to help create non-floral centerpieces for an event in NYC. The centerpieces will be made out of toys which are donated after the event. thanks!
Hi everyone !! I’m hoping to find an exclusive and difficult to get into restaurant to host 15-20 clients in NYC. We’ve already done The Polo Bar. Any other recommendations? If you also have a similar style rec for Dallas, Ill take that too :). Thanks!
Hi all! Looking for recs in the Chicago area for a leadership conference we are working on with a non-profit in Sept. Signage, rentals, photographer, florists, etc. TIA!!
Hi all, really excited to be a part of this community!
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.
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? There’s nothing wrong with tried and true haha just want to see if I’m missing an opportunity to use something better if it’s out there :)
Any favorite suggestions for a great rooftop + great food for a work happy hour for #50 people?
Looking for a loft or residential style space (not a hotel) for a 15-person VIP dinner in NYC. Ideally SoHo/downtown. Must have a useable kitchen for private chef
<!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!!
Hey All! Im running point on a 200 person conference this fall, but having trouble finding an event registration platform that meets the following needs:

I set up a glue up account but have not been having the best experience, and im trying out RSVPify, but if 1)anyone has any recommendations or 2) has tried any of these platforms please let me know 🙂
hi event profs! Helping a friend who's ISO a furniture rental AND signage company based in LA that can help with a beauty booth set up without breaking the bank. Any reco's are helpful! Thanks!
what is everyone's go-to webinar platform? we are currently using demio but they don't integrate with linkedin live or twitter live. we don't need a super advance platform like hopin because we don't host virtual conferences, just monthly webinars.
