Former home of the Hanover Bank, this exquisite space styled in the Renaissance palazzo has played a prominent role in foreign trading and the development of Lower Manhattan. Rich in history (and decor), the venue offers 11 spaces event organizers can "mix-and-match" to fit any type of event.

Use of the entire facility will accommodate up to 1,000 guests, ideal for any event, fundraiser, corporate dinner, and more. Cocktail reception, menus, and beverage options are available through the club's in-house caterers, Masterpiece Caterers.

The venue also houses a unique and diverse gallery of artwork collected from around the world displaying  different periods of time among from event registration setup and throughout the whole venue.

Don't worry about connecting social networks, browsing feeds, or anything more than just recording animations and adding borders, backgrounds, filters, and other fun (and easy to do!) details.

Eventprofs and their guests can create and capture memories from events, sending and sharing at their own convenience via text or social media. Use it to complement your existing event apps to further more participation among attendees.

December 2014 • Event Apps Amping up the Winter Alumni Reunions

1- For starters, it's going to assist the planning committee with the marketing for the current reunion and all events thereafter. A reliable system will store all necessary data so the committee knows about who is interested in attending and has all this relevant information in one space. This will help determine and better organize the guest list for future events and will make for a more efficient follow-up session having all of this data available in one space.

2- Secondly, a secure event platform will collect class reunion fundraising and donations seamlessly. Event organizers will not only manage guest information and check-in/seating/ticket options, but will be able to obtain donations prior to and even during the reunion to ensure that alumni commitments are received accordingly.

3- A third point of interest to note is the tracking and reporting. Every check-in and update made throughout the event adds more useful data to better future events, and having each guest's email will fortify re-engagement with these guests well after the event has ended. Did most guests arrive an hour after the official start time? Taking any (what may seem) minor detail into account helps the organization committee learn for next year.

DID YOU KNOW?!

Universities and schools are some of the biggest players in the event industry, generating some of the highest volumes of event traffic.

Whether a gala dinner, networking night, team-building exercise or wine and cheese social, your reunion and any alumni event is a win-win for both the organizer and patron with a event technology at the helm. Open houses, orientations, and other academic events--and all persons involved--will benefit from an intuitive event technology solution, too. 

What Boomset recommends:

Kiosk check-in: It's fun, and implementing a #SelfieBadge is a unique way to begin the reunion.

Guest List Access: Upload and sync all attendee information in a snap. Continue to add and edit this information during the event, too. 

Badge Printing: These play a key role at any reunion, especially for facilitating consistent networking. Opt for printing onsite, and even consider the custom wristband option which are more practical for upscale events.
