Featured Venue: 230 Fifth
With 3 chic and spacious indoor event areas and one outdoor rooftop garden with cabanas (heated during the colder months), this Flatiron gem not only offers stunning views of NYC’s iconic skyline that feature both the ESB and Chrysler Building, but has a beautiful decor that’s sure to impress everyone.
The 24,000 square-foot space is ideal for “Holiday Party 2014,” accommodating from 25 guests up to 1,200 people. The high-speed internet, podium and staging, state-of-the-art audio & visual equipment, and wireless microphones are only some of the extras that come with the space, which we’d say are especially useful for awards and recognitions. (Though we do agree with #techsytalk fans; Catchbox would be fun and a big hit for audience engagement!)
The list of clients that have used the space is impressive, and the venue's experienced sales professionals and in-house catering group will help you create a memorable experience for your clientele. Intimate or loud & proud, you’ll have a blast right in the heart of Manhattan, and the penthouse bar and club is always hoppin’ after hours for a sneak peek at the space, too. Connect with their team here.
Featured #Eventprofs: Events Uncovered TV
Silvia Pellegrini, founder of the site, combined passion with practicality to create this channel for event professionals around the world. The idea behind Events Uncovered TV is fantastic: a resourceful space for people in the event industry to meet, discuss, learn and share their knowledge and experience.
It’s especially useful for the DMC community and those planning events abroad. To be connected with other experts on an international level in order to gain “fresher ideas, techniques, and solutions” will only strengthen your current know-how and open doors and opportunities for you with these newfound perspectives. They’ll also be featuring an Academy on the site which will include training sessions that will share different globally-used techniques in the events industry.
We’ve mentioned these #eventprofs in this week’s edition so our community could get a head start on making international connections for the new year. Oh, and scoping out the holiday ideas around the world is great for any last-minute holiday party details, too! Watch a couple of the episodes and maybe have your own 15 minutes of fame along with Silvia and other event professionals here.
Featured Event Fun: Phhhoto
Phhhoto, dubbed “the perfect party app” by some and “addictive” by techcrunch, is some image fun for any event. Whether using the the app or the Pro version. Both create instant “moving photos,” just like GIFs…and you know how we love those.
The Phhhoto Pro version works with via photo booth that functions with a glow ring to brighten up the image. After shooting your image, message it to your phone to share it with the world.
If you like to party (you do and you do it well, #eventprofs), download the app to give it a whirl. To book an event, head over to their site.
Make some fun memories at this year’s holiday bash! What fun detail are you planning on adding?
