  • 1.  Non Traditional Meeting Space

    Posted 12-19-2018 08:35 PM
    Hi Colleagues,

    A friend of mine asked me to post this question. I hope someone can help her.

    "My meetings have traditionally been held in hotels. However, we will be holding smaller conferences and I'd like to look at meeting space in Hospitals, Universities or any other non-hotel space in New York City. I need a general session room that holds 200 people and as many breakout rooms as I can get.

    The NewYork Visitors and Convention Bureau does not have a list of these types of venues that rent space. Do you have any suggestions?"


    Are you aware of any meeting space that meets her criteria? 

    Happy holidays all,

    Valerie

    Hello and Happy Holidays

    Columbia NYU and Fordham, to name a few have event department. You may be able to go to the website for the contact information. Also. Office of continuing education often run the meeting facilities at hospitals. Try MT Sinai. The NY Academy of Sciences has great space downtown. Good luck.
