Hi All! I'm looking for a Happy Hour venue in Amsterdam near the RAI - anyone have experience planning events there? We'll be at IBC Sept. 15-18 and were hoping to plan a Happy Hour for around 50-75 clients. If you know of a good venue, please let me know. So far not having much luck with the places I've contacted. Thanks!

Where Can You Find Low-Cost Bar Rooms in Manhattan for Non-Profit Events?

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!

Is Spin in Chicago a Great Choice for Corporate Events?

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.

What Made the New Jersey-East Asia Economic Mission Successful?

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!

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!

Where to Find Budget-Friendly Event Venues in Boston and SF?

We could use some help from this amazing community -- we are trying to source venues in Boston and SF for June and our client has little to no money. We've looked at Loft on Two in Boston - and similar locations in SF (but they are just too pricey).

1 1/2 day program

150 people in SF and 75 people in BOS

Need main presentation room + 2 small breakout rooms + space to serve lunch

If the venue has built in AV, that is a plus b/c our AV budget is super small too.

Any ideas you may have is much appreciated.
