{PHOTO BLOG} PlannerCrawling Through The Streets of NYC

What a blast we had last week! Our inaugural PlannerCrawl event kicked off in style with 150 event planners coming out for networking, site visits and fun. For those who missed it, PlannerCrawl is a unique take on meetups where we invite event planners to check out 3 venues in 3 hours – all while enjoying entertainment, great food and drinks, and unparalleled networking. Over 95% of our attendees were event planners – from special events to corporate and everything in between. Below is a picture recap of our event so you can see all the fun. And, don’t forget to save the date for our next event on April 22, 2014!

Light sabers lit up the NYC night as we directed 150 event planners through the streets of NYC visiting 3 venues.

: The beautiful Refinery Hotel – one of the 3 stops on our PlannerCrawl! We visited Winnie’s – their lobby bar – and their breathtaking rooftop with a stunning view of the Empire State Building!

Suite 36 was our first stop on the crawl – a modern sports bar featuring second-floor suites with an Empire State Building view.

Offsite NYC was our third and final stop for the night. An innovative and tech-focused venue, this stop on the crawl was the perfect find for many meeting planners!

Each venue offered a variety of cocktails, appetizers and even dessert.

One of the activities of the night was hosted by the talented folks at Museum Hack – an important time for our attendees to get to know each other even better.

David Jacobson from TrivWorks offered a time of trivia for our attendees as well – showcasing his team-building activities and adding an extra bump of fun to the evening!
