1. Theme

Business oriented. Bring enough business cards. Be prepared to introduce yourself to both old and new NYEBN members.

Do you know that 230 Fifth just expanded? Their new rooftop space is large and gorgeous. Consider this event as a warming up party for the new space at 230 Fifth. I've checked out the lighting there. It's perfect for our event purpose. The venue is exclusively available for NYEBN from 6 - 9:30 PM (Read more about 230 Fifth venue at the bottom of the page.)
