GBTop notch service Top notch service! Venue is laid out perfectly!! The Convene Team is experienced, knowledgeable, accommodating, and FUN!! Couldn't ask for a better combination. Their chef did an amazing job of making sure our team was well fed with yummy food! Was able to accommodate all of our rather restrictive dietary needs! Kudos to Chef & co!! They truly have their fingers on the pulse of how meetings are meant to be!! Looking forward to going back there soon!

GBFrederick has been very patient with us… Frederick has been very patient with us in answering all of our questions and is always available to us when we need him! Kellie has been fantastic to work with on-site. She's very responsive to all of our requests and goes above and beyond. The facility is very clean and modern and the food is very good with ever changing menus and plenty of snacks to please a variety of appetites!

GBConvene is a meeting planner's dream… Convene is a meeting planner's dream venue! I've been a corporate event planner for over 30 years and my experience with Convene at Old Slip in New York was one of the best ever. The proposal/contract process was a breeze (we basically completed the entire process in two emails!) The Convene staff was extremely professional, courteous and could not have been more helpful! The only problem with Convene is that they are not yet located in every city in the U.S.!

GBConvene DC (575 7th Street, NW) Convene DC (575 7th Street, NW) was a great experience. From the contracting to the pre-planning through to the event itself, the staff was amazing. They were responsive, offered great solutions and were a true partner in our event. The space was conducive to our goals for our meeting. It was high tech, modern and comfortable. The food and beverage was creative and nicely displayed. Onsite, the Convene DC team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to have a successful meeting. The attendees loved their experience.

GBDefinitely 'convenient' and beautful. Pricing is just getting a bit too much. I am very satisfied with Convene locations when we host our programs there. I do think they are pricing themselves out of some business however. The pricing is getting way too costly especially when they don't allow receptions to be part of F&B minimums without some tough negotiations. While they seem "convenient", and services are good, it's not working for our budgets and still have to review other spaces. While I like their food selections, it's the same when we host multiple events throughout the year at different locations. Presentation of meals, actually just breaks could be improved as it leaves attendees looking around for more.
