Civic Hall is a cutting-edge venue accommodating a wide range of configurations – from a 250-person gala dinner or 300+ keynote address, to a 500+ standing cocktail party.
At its core is The Craig Newmark Auditorium, named for the founder of Craigslist in honor of his ongoing and daily contributions, that serves as the newest and most exciting space in New York City.
Home to The Craig Newmark Auditorium, featuring high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass windows that create an open-air atmosphere and provide a comfortable setting for all event stylings. The expansive open-space concept is enhanced by cinema-style audio and video systems, theatrical lighting trusses and a state-of-the-art catering kitchen.
Above, the elevated Symposium Space offers multiple breakout rooms along with a magnificent double-story lounge, peering up Lexington Avenue with views of The Chrysler Building. The entire space is equipped with conferencing technology to meet the audiovisual requirements of any event.
Most event centers are for-profit – but Civic Hall is different. Designed in tandem with the City of New York and The Fedcap Group, Civic Hall is the first-of-its-kind, non-profit event and technology conference center built to advance collaboration and digital skills training for underestimated populations. Proceeds from events are reinvested to further our mission.
