Quick q: Does anyone have any contacts at Cooper Hewitt museum in NY?

Hi NYC event peeps, I’m looking for reco’s for a venue to host a one-day conference that can fit 1,000-2,000 attendees for a keynote, and 4 breakout sessions. Ideally in Manhattan. Obviously we’ve looked at usual suspects like Javits, Marquis, Hilton Midtown, Sheraton Times Sq, Manhattan Center, and Lincoln Center. Any other great candidates I’m missing?

Anyone have experience with NYC museum(s) event spaces? I have to plan a seated/formal dinner party for 100 VIPs, and wanted some insight. thanks!!

Hi colleagues - I'm looking to do a screening for about 150-ish ppl on 11/2 in NYC - in the evening. (This is all last-minute.) I'm looking into a few spaces, but would love to hear from you on what spaces you recommend.

Looking for a venue that can accommodate the following flow:

• A VIP reception (w/ drinks & hors d'oeuvres ) for 40-50 ppl, 40 mins prior to the general call-time

• Screening area would open at the general call-time and wld have drinks and food for the rest of the guests that arrive

• Once we have critical mass in the screening area we'll begin to intro the film and show it

• After the screening well do a talk-back/ Q&A with folx from the film

• Event ends

Thanks all!
