Spaces built for interaction and engagement
Tables
Table conversations are the core of the Social hour experience. We believe the richest social interaction happens in small dynamic groups, where members may easily come and go as they please.
Stages
Give a presentation, host a panel, screen a video—and so much more. Our stage layout is simple yet flexible enough to accommodate your event.
Stages with tables
The best of both worlds! Think gala or wedding reception. Hang at a table with your friends, stop by other tables, watch and discuss stage speakers and presentations.
