Convene, Brookfield Open 73K-SF Event Venue Downtown

Brookfield Properties and Convene have opened a flagship event venue at Brookfield Place in Lower Manhattan. The 73,000-square foot, multi-use venue at 225 Liberty will contain two large spaces with a capacity of up to 500 people each, along with several other rooms to accommodate smaller meetings and events.

“The addition of Convene’s event and flex meeting space responds to the need for large-format event spaces in Downtown Manhattan,” said Ben Brown, head of New York for Brookfield Properties.

“Convene is proud to open our newest venue at Brookfield Place, a top cultural and experiential destination in New York City,” said Convene CEO and co-founder Ryan Simonetti. “The space is beautifully designed and purpose-built for large-scale meetings and events. We are excited to deliver exceptional hospitality services, bespoke culinary offerings, and event production support to companies and the local business community that are hosting their most important events and meetings.”
