Not a "new" venue, but it is definitely a venue that pleasantly surprised me last week- I hosted a group of 50 people for a lunch & learn + cocktail reception in Chicago at Spin, and we had a WONDERFUL experience. I usually select more traditional event spaces like hotels for this style of corporate event, but everything from the food quality to the existing furniture around the space and the service pre and during was 10/10. I primarily chose this venue because of the location, but I also wanted to host a fun activity after the meeting to keep attendees around for my sales team. Spin was perfect on all fronts! The company I work for is high-growth SAAS, so the edgy design was totally fine for us. I've attached a few of my pictures from the event here.
Thank you Kristina!!! This is actually perfect timing we’re thinking about starting a channel where people can share event recaps and any associated pics. Cc @EventPlanner582 @EventPlanner317 @EventPlanner716
I can vouch for Spin locations! I used one in Seattle and it was a blast and they are great to work with! Tons all over the country and all different vibes!
@EventPlanner156 good to know! This was the first Spin location I've used but definitely won't be the last 🙂

Hi all! I’m looking into venues in Nashville to host a 1 day meeting for about 120 people - NO HOTELS. We need (2) breakout rooms along with a general session space (this year the group was at Acme Feed and Seed, but need a better breakout set up for 2024).
The added challenge is that we are also hoping to host a concert the night before or night of the event nearby or onsite for about 200-250 people. Any recommended venues or parts of Nashville to look at for either portion of the event would be amazing!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a vendor who can super rush a custom pin order? I need a crossed flag pin (like this) but custom with two flags that don't normally go together. I need the pins by Feb 15 so this is a super tight turnaround. I normally use Pin Mart but they don't do rush orders.
