Good morning, all! Does anyone have any experience with either the Park Hyatt or the Four Seasons in Buenos Aires? We are between the two for a July program. Thanks!
I personally don't have experience doing events there but my family in Buenos Aires (my husband was born & raised there) loves Park Hyatt and always recommends it to visitors who don't want to do Airbnb (and can afford a nice place). My former manager also preferred that Park Hyatt to other hotels when she'd visit our BsAs partner office and always said that'd be her top pick for a venue if we did an event there.
@EventPlanner233 Thank you so much! Leaning that way and so happy to hear this!
Hi all! Anyone have any contacts for entertainment vendors in Buenos Aires? Looking for a guitarist for a cocktail reception. Thanks!

Hey! Can anyone think of a space that would work for a half day event with presentations and a mini exhibition for about 50 ppl? Preferably a venue that would have a lobby area for the exhibition and a presentation room with AV tech inhouse (not a huge budget). This is for May 2024 and a side event for NYCxDesign 2024. There’s been initial talks of Williamsburg as a location but it could be in Manhattan too. Happy to hear any suggestions for exciting venues so thanks in advance!
Also looking for a Brooklyn, NY, venue for 200-300 attendees for a health and wellness one day event. Many thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any venue recommendations in San Francisco (capacity: 3,000)?
Hi all! We have two events in New York, Nov 29 and Dec 6, and the hotel rates started high and have reached crazy high levels. Attendees pay their own hotel and we don't do blocks for these smaller meetings. I expected the rates to be higher due to proximity to holidays but even the most basic hotels are at $1000/night. Any creative ideas for how to help our attendees find something reasonable? Hidden gems with miracle prices? Stay outside the city and offer a shuttle? I am open to anything!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a private room at a bar (in Manhattan) to host an event for a non profit I’m part of.
Details:
Very low budget-like $1500 (food not necessary)
Approx 60-75 ppl.
Date tbd but tues-thurs
We'd likely do either open bar for an hour/drink tickets and then cash bar for remainder.
The non profit benefits a cause within the Jewish community, so bonus if owner of bar supports said community, as I may be able to negotiate a bit easier due to vested interest in potential support of non profit mission.
Thank you in advance for any leads!

Hello, all. I’m taking about 25 female executives from Boston to NYC to meet their executive community counterparts for two days of fun and connections. These women know each other through an online community but may or may not have met in person yet. We have some receptions and meetups scheduled, but I am also interested in an intimate dinner location that I can work with to craft the ideal dining experience, with beautiful decor/an all-inclusive curated menu, in a unique setting. I would love two recommendations: 1. Favorite 4-5 star hotels in Flatiron District with a contact name 2. Restaurant recommendation for dinner for 30. This is not a sponsored event, so the ladies will all be paying on their own; as a member of the Community, I am looking to build in some structure! Welcome your expertise!

What: New Jersey-East Asia Economic Mission
Where: Tokyo, Hiroshima, Seoul, Taipei, Hsinchu
When: October 13-22, 2023
Who: 60+ delegates
What went well:
• The delegates were thrilled to go on New Jersey’s most expansive economic mission ever. 40+ MOUs, partnerships, and important contracts were signed, including a drivers license reciprocity agreement with NJ and the Korean National Police association.
• Positive press all around. We got lots of write-ups in local media. Having a reporter on the ground with us helped.
• Governor Murphy was able to meet with the head of state in every country - not something all Govs get to do. He even brought a guitar signed by Bon Jovi as a gift for a music-loving high-ranking individual.
• Overall, I just can’t believe I successfully planned logistics, managed 90 meetings/sessions/events, and moved 60+ people, including the Gov, his family, and their security, across so many countries/cities with no major issues. Definitely my biggest accomplishment ever.
For next time:
• My events team was way too small (ie, it was a one-woman show of just me) and I lost not only an extraordinary amount of sleep but my mind a few times too. I’m advocating for an event coordinator to be added to my team now.
• Hoping for a longer lead planning time for the next economic mission.
• Still learning to navigate the world of politics/politicians. Personalities, rules, and processes much different than I’m used to.
• Need to buy comfortable shoes. My plantar fasciitis was really on fire this whole time with the literal running around we had to do. In the past, I could wear sneakers but with this crowd I had to be in dress shoes all the time. My Naturalizer loafers did not deliver on the promised support. Time to buy good insoles!
Happy Friday Everyone! I have two asks on this Friday evening. 1- Have any of you planned a meeting at an all-inclusive resort, and particularly one in Mexico or the Caribbean? And if so would you be willing to talk with me about any tips, learnings, or words of advice on the difference with planning at an all-inclusive? 2 - Do you know any Spanish speaking, great freelance planners? Thank you! Enjoy your weekend.

Thank you!!
hello! I’m looking for a restaurant in Cologne, Germany for up to 60 guests. Ideally, it would have space for presentation with the monitor and mics, 2-men panel. I have already researched over 50 restaurants and bars, so maybe you know any alternatives, please, do share 🙏

Hi everyone! Does anyone have any recommendations for lovely places to host 14-person team retreats in D.C. (including Maryland/Virginia), Philly, or Providence?
Some guidelines:
Budget is mid range (~$350/ per room per night)
We love places where we can either take over a really nice suite and use that as our workspace or if this have a nice loungey room that could work as well!
Any recommendations would be immensely appreciated!
