How to choose Midtown, NYC networking venues for an event

Before compiling a list of networking event venues, determine the size and purpose of your networking event. Will it be a large, formal gathering or a smaller, more intimate affair? Consider these common types of networking events:
  • __Industry networking events__ are perfect for making lots of new professional contacts. Typically held at convention halls or hotels, they may feature a keynote speaker followed by breakout sessions, as well as opportunities for mingling during breaks and over meals.
  • __Informal networking events__ are more intimate and can be a great way to deepen relationships with existing contacts. They are often held at restaurants or private clubs without any formal programming. Instead, attendees will have plenty of time to mix and mingle while enjoying food and drinks.
  • __Educational networking events__ focus on providing attendees with practical information that they can use in their business or professional life. Often held as lunch-and-learns or [workshops](https://www.peerspace.com/venues/new-york--ny/workshop-venue), they may highlight one or more expert speakers.
Once you've decided on the type of networking event you want to host, cull your venue options. For example, when it comes to a large event, choose a venue that can accommodate many guests comfortably, such as a converted warehouse or multipurpose event space. The venue should also be accessible and have enough space for any planned activities or entertainment. On the other hand, a smaller networking event may lend more flexibility when choosing a venue. Industrial lofts, creative studios, and coworking spaces can provide an inviting atmosphere conducive to networking. Whether you opt for a cozy meeting room or a sizable banquet hall, remember to take into account the location and transportation options. Ideally, networking event venues should be easy for all your guests to access by public transit.
