Meeting and event space provider Convene closed three New York City locations in mid-October, the company confirmed. The spaces were at 780 Third Ave., 730 Third Ave. and 810 Seventh Ave. The three represented about 10 percent of Convene's locations, which now total 27 overall and 13 in New York, according to a company spokesperson.
The corporate meetings industry has been hit hard during the pandemic, with most in-person events canceled or postponed until 2021 or later. To compensate, in June the company added a virtual meetings solution to support fully virtual as well as hybrid events. In October, Convene added networking and sponsorship servicesto its virtual product.
