FEATURED VENUE: HIGHLINE BALLROOM, NYC
Images via the Highline Ballroom
A whimsically classic 7000-sq. ft. space in Chelsea, the Highline Ballroom offers guests a cozy atmosphere that shares the trendsetting energy Manhattan is known for.
The space pairs industrial decor with a modern feel, boasting a 30-foot stage, top-of-the-line AV and lighting, a full-service kitchen, and on-site production management available for assistance. It’s ideal for small, intimate events of 20-30 guests, yet can accommodate up to 700 guests:
- Seated events (~340 guests)
- Cocktail receptions (~700 guests)
- Main floor (~500 guests)
- Mezzanine/Balcony (max 200 guests – this area can also be set up for cocktail hour)
From concert to conference, it’s a versatile venue that’s worth exploring. Connect with their events management team here for additional specs.
FEATURED #EVENTTECH DETAIL: 3D FOOD PRINTING
No, it’s not an app, but it is considered event technology with a catering twist. We know that on-demand badge printing is a more sustainable option when it comes to paper material, but how about when it comes to food?

It is estimated that 40% of all food produced is wasted in the U.S. alone (and that’s not even counting floral decor at events). If on-demand badge printing saves time, budget, and reduces waste, imagine what on-demand culinary printing can do!

Digital food creation is what 3D Systems intends to achieve. Using 3D printing technology and the knowledge and technique of culinary experts, the company looks to create a “culinary ecosystem” movement.
According to the 3D Printing Industry, it’s possible that 3D food printing machines will increase in demand (much like the microwave did during its debut). Though manufacturing costs are somewhat higher (as are the temperatures of food that’s printed), it offers a healthier alternative to the global environment and a creative detail for event caterers.
