Hi Everyone! I just joined this slack today and it has already been so helpful. A couple of questions for upcoming events I have:
Anyone know somewhere fun for 20-30 people in Little Rock, Arkansas? Looking for somewhere that serves food along with some type of activity.
We make welcome bags for our annual Partnership event every year with a budget of around $200 per bag. This year the event is in Palm Springs and we are looking for new things to put in the bags other than drinking cups, speakers, and the things that are overused. We need them to be gender neutral and no sizing involved, as they aren't customized per person. We also like to add a tech item. Last year we did branded Ember mugs. Let me know if you have any new ideas your companies have been using. Thanks!!
Hi @EventPlanner311! The vendor I use has some great lookbooks on their website that could provide some inspo for you
Branded airtags with covers
Yes!! Love the branded AirTags. Literally a million use cases
I’m looking for custom wrapping paper, but just a solid color. I’ve found lots of websites that allow me to upload an image for a custom print but none that let me choose a solid PMS color for a couple rolls. Any advice?
Also, related, I’m looking for nice customized satin ribbons (using my company logo). I know I can get this on a site like Zazzle but if anyone here has had a good personal experience I’d love recommendations.
Question for the group! Right now at my job, all of our swag/collateral/materials is being kept in the basement of our office building and manually shipped out to trade shows and events by someone in-office. Does anyone have a storage/warehousing/shipping/fulfillment service that they love? Basically I'm looking for a company that will warehouse all of our stuff + provide a portal where we can log in and select items to ship out.
Hi everyone, Im currently looking for a new swag provider that handles all inventory storage and shipping.

I’ve looked at Creative Promo and Canary, Any others that people have worked with and would recommend?

Hi! Looking for recommendations for a network (Internet) consulting firm that can work within a sound stage to provide network assessment/review, WiFi networking, design/implementation/maintenance/monitoring, etc. for a live broadcast event. Preference for LA-based.
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!
<!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.
Hello, I am looking for a unique venue in SF area for back to back events Sept 27 & 28, private intimate tequila dinner pairing with a michelin star chef for 30 people each evening. Looking for a place with a view and not a bar or restaurant.
Hey everyone! Does anyone know a good event photographer in SF?
hi SF peeps! What's the best security company (for onsite at events) you've worked with lately?
Anyone use any vendors that have been amazing with unique client gifts or have ideas for a great gift this year? My team handles holiday gifting also and coming up with the gift each year is always a challenge!
Hi all! Does anyone have any recommendations for a photographer in San Francisco. Just need one for roughly 2-3 hours for a private dinner in October. Thank you! 💜
Looking for examples of large seamless screens (that are lifesize), perhaps used as wayfinders or ideally were digital photo op backdrops?

Hi - Looking for referrals for a private chef in the SF Bay Area for a small dinner in November. Someone who is on the more modest to average price point would be ideal vs someone who is $$$.
Hi all! Has anyone used ON24 for a large 1000 person virtual event? Do you know if it has robust capabilities?
Looking for a great SF restaurant private room, ideally 30-50 people. Needs to be fully private (not open to the main room of a restaurant).
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. We've worked with LMH Experiences, In Good Taste and some one off distributors, but exploring new options. We've found most success with wine tastings or cocktail making events.
Hi all! Favorite resort venues in the northern California region? This group has done CordeValle, Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay, etc. Thank you!
Anyone have a recommendation for a Bay Area DJ? Relatively last minute — need for next Wednesday 11/9. 2-3 hour gig in the evening (4-7ish)
Does anyone know of cool venue space for 300 people (main stage), sponsor area and meals in San Diego? In 2019 they were at the Bricks which is unfortunately too small for them. Looking at hotel options, but they would rather a venue. Also looking at the new children’s museum.
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...
