La pomme, or ‘the apple’ in French, is the proverbial forbidden fruit: pure and simple, but with an underlying element of sensuality and taboo. Located at 37 West 26th Street in the heart of Chelsea, La Pomme event space brings the diverse contextual meanings of its name to life in a space that is at once streamlined and subversive, wide-eyed but wicked. This 3,500 square foot venue combines high-style design and grand décor with ‘Fellini-esque” elements of debaucherous mystery to create an imaginative and raucous metropolitan escape.

Note: La Pomme has held networking events for Yahoo and iVillagebefore. Plus, the light can be turned all the way up inside the venue.  To RSVP for this event, go to http://www.ny-entrepreneur-network.com/calendar/12375287/

Currently 300 have RSVPed, more RSVP spots are expected to open tomorrow.  Join the group here to check out what other events we will be hosting this month.

It's a new year. It's a fresh start. We'll be hosting our 2nd networking reception of the new year at Hudson Terrace rooftop

1. Theme

Business oriented. Business attires expected. RSVP is a must to make it a free event. For people not on the RSVP list, a charge of $10 will apply at the door. You can bring one guest for free. If you tweet about this event with a hyperlink to our website and a hashtag (namely: #NYEBN), you can bring up to 2 guests. The same will apply if you share the event on Facebook. Please send us a note if you do this.

2. Venue

We will have exclusive access for the venue. Expect to network at the main floor most of the time since that's where our vendors & sponsors will be. The 3rd level is accessible but not where the crowd will be. There is area outside if you want to smoke. Scroll down to read more about the venue and see pictures.

3. Vendors/Partners

As usual, we will have tables available for our vendors and partners. We are rolling out a special sponsorship package for 2010. If you are interested in becoming a vendor or sponsor, send a request to Susan Risdal at Susan (at) WebStudio13 (dot) com.

4. Name Tags

We've been getting requests about switching to higher quality name tags this time. The problem with the traditional sticky badges is that they won't stick very well. To remedy this issue, we decided to use the high quality plastic holders for all our networking events going forward. To offset the costs, we ask each member to chip in for their own name tags. Please read carefully about this new rule:

I. If you have your own plastic holder w/ your names in it, you can bring it yourself. In that case, you will not pay for our plastic holders at the door.

II. If you get a plastic holder from us when you check in, it'll cost $1 each. We encourage you to keep the plastic holders so you wouldn't have to pay for it again in the future. 

III. No sticky name tags will be tolerated for our future events. Those things fall off easily and won't work well for our networking purposes.

5. Other Things (Important)

I. We will be serving drink specials. It's about $6 or $7 for beer/wine. Mention NYEBN for special price.

II. You must be 21 and older to attend this event. Don't forget to bring your ID.

III. Print out the ticket to speed up the admission process. Click here to see a sample of theadmission ticket.
