NEW YORK CITY: The Meetings And Events industry Prepares For A Comeback At The Manhattan Center

MANHATTAN (NYC) NY: Now, with the city reopening gradually, some meeting organizers are transitioning back into holding live events at he Manhattan Center, an events, performance and production space in New York City.

Built in 1906 and located at 311 West 34th Street, the complex houses Manhattan Center Studios, its Grand Ballroom, and the Hammerstein Ballroom, one of New York City's most renowned performance venues. 

For some clients planning live events, the Manhattan Center has been using its on-site broadcast facility to add a virtual component.

Some, for instance, are holding live town halls where key stakeholders attend in person, but there is also a virtual component, so attendees may participate remotely if they wish.

This has been helpful for nonprofit clients who rely on their events for fundraising and now have to meet their annual financial goals with a smaller number of attendees. 

Other players in the meetings and events space are also looking for a resurgence of live events.
