EMRG Media Releases Its 2026 Guide to the Best Corporate Holiday Party Venues in New York City

New 20-venue guide draws on EMRG Media's firsthand event production experience, compares guest capacities, and helps companies navigate NYC's competitive holiday booking season.

- EMRG Media has published a 20-venue planning guide to corporate holiday party venues in New York City, drawing on its experience producing events at many of the featured locations.

- The guide publishes seated dinner and standing reception capacities side by side for selected venues, helping companies understand which spaces fit their guest lists and event formats.

- EMRG Media recommends beginning the venue search six to twelve months ahead of December celebrations, particularly for popular Thursday and Friday evenings.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- EMRG Media today released its 2026 planning guide to the best corporate holiday party venues in New York City, covering 20 spaces across Manhattan and Brooklyn. Drawing on the company's firsthand event production experience, the guide helps corporate event planners compare venues, evaluate guest capacities, and choose the right setting for their year-end celebrations. The full guide is published at https://www.emrgmedia.com/20-best-corporate-holiday-party-venues-in-nyc-for-2026/.

EMRG Media Built the Corporate Holiday Party Venue Guide From Rooms It Has Worked In

The guide features immersive nightlife spaces, grand ballrooms, rooftops, waterfront settings, and entertainment-driven rooms suited to different guest counts, event formats, and budgets.

EMRG Media has produced more than 1,100 events in New York City since 2001 and has firsthand production experience at many featured venues. The company is the exclusive event producer for NEBULA and The Amber Room.

EMRG Media Publishes Capacity Data Companies Cannot Easily Compare

Seated dinner and standing reception capacities can differ significantly. Stages, dance floors, bars, and food stations can further reduce usable space.

The guide lists published seated dinner and cocktail reception capacities side by side for selected venues, helping companies compare spaces before scheduling tours or requesting proposals.

"Most companies pick a venue off a photo and find out later it does not work for the night they planned," said Erica Maurer, Partner and Co-Founder of EMRG Media. "A reception number and a seated dinner number are two completely different rooms. We put both in one place so nobody books blind."

EMRG Media Recommends Booking December Dates Well in Advance

Prime Thursday and Friday evenings in December are among NYC's most sought-after corporate holiday party dates. EMRG Media recommends beginning venue searches six to twelve months in advance, especially for large celebrations.

Companies booking closer to December may find more flexibility with Monday through Wednesday evenings, alternative dates, or different event formats.

The guide also addresses costs beyond venue rental and food and beverage minimums.

RCU launches 2026-2027 Archaeology Season across AlUla and Khaybar

- Saudi and international teams advance long-term research into north-west Arabia's human history, from prehistoric landscapes and ancient kingdoms to oasis life, pilgrimage routes and heritage conservation

- The season builds on previous discoveries while strengthening Saudi capability in archaeology, field research, digital documentation and heritage interpretation

ALULA, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Royal Commission for AlUla has launched the latest phase of its 2026–2027 Archaeology Season, bringing together Saudi and international teams to advance long-term archaeological research across AlUla and Khaybar.

Building on the momentum of previous seasons, this year's programme continues RCU's work to study, document, conserve and interpret one of north-west Arabia's most significant archaeological landscapes. The season brings together a broad programme of fieldwork, specialist research, digital documentation and community engagement across AlUla and Khaybar, supporting deeper understanding of the region's human history and its role within the ancient world.

The programme reflects the growing maturity of RCU's archaeology work. As missions return to the field, researchers are moving from individual discoveries into deeper scientific analysis, connecting evidence across periods, sites and disciplines to build a richer understanding of how people lived in, moved through and shaped the landscapes of AlUla and Khaybar over millennia.

This season's work is structured around key research themes, including early human presence and prehistory; ancient kingdoms and oasis societies; routes and pilgrimage; environmental history and water management; inscriptions and written heritage; material culture and subsistence; conservation; and digital documentation.

At Hegra, teams are continuing survey, excavation and specialist studies of the settlement centre and ancient oasis, including material linked to flora, fauna and small finds. This work aims to deepen understanding of life at the site across multiple periods and to support the wider interpretation of Hegra's archaeological landscape.

In Dadan, the second phase of the Dadan Archaeological Project is building on the results of the previous five-year mission. Current work is focused on further excavation and study of funerary and residential areas, helping researchers better understand the development, use and reuse of one of AlUla's most important ancient centres.

In Khaybar, continuing and new research is examining the oasis across different periods. This includes excavation of the major Neolithic site of Al-Maṭḥana, alongside studies of sedimentary archives, palaeoenvironments and human societies from late prehistory through the Islamic period. Together, these missions are helping researchers understand the relationship between natural resources, human presence and cultural change in one of the region's most important oasis landscapes.

The Pilgrimage Routes in South AlUla project is continuing work on forts and railway stations, while surveying more than 100 km between AlBadai' and Zumurrud forts to trace north-south routes of travel in Islamic and earlier periods. This research is helping to clarify how people, goods and ideas moved across the region through networks of travel, trade and pilgrimage.

The AlUla Inscriptions Corpus Analysis Project, in collaboration with Ghent University, is continuing work to translate, study and contextualise inscriptions recorded across AlUla. The project supports access to one of the region's most important bodies of written heritage, building on AlUla's record of more than 25,000 inscriptions and contributing to future research through the development of an online database.

Specialist studies are also expanding understanding of daily life and environmental history. Research into animal remains, ceramics, qanat water systems and material from Tell Saq is helping archaeologists move from field discovery into deeper analysis of diet, production, exchange, ritual practice, oasis water management and material culture.

The season also reflects RCU's commitment to developing Saudi capability in archaeology and heritage research. Through fieldwork, laboratory work, specialist studies, digital documentation, community engagement and collaboration with leading international institutions, the programme supports knowledge transfer and helps develop the next generation of Saudi archaeologists, researchers and heritage professionals.

A community engagement workshop will also introduce participants, including teachers, students, Rawis and rangers, to AlUla's heritage through practical activities, museum and laboratory experiences, and site visits, helping connect archaeological research with local knowledge and public engagement.

Dr Abdulrahman Alsuhaibani, Vice President of Culture at RCU, said:

"AlUla and Khaybar continue to reveal the depth and diversity of north-west Arabia's human history. Through sustained archaeological research, RCU is advancing knowledge of the region's ancient landscapes, routes, oases and kingdoms, while strengthening Saudi Arabia's contribution to global archaeological understanding. This season is also an important opportunity to build national capability, support Saudi talent, and ensure that the knowledge generated through research informs how AlUla's heritage is conserved, interpreted and shared with the world."

Dr Rebecca Foote, Director of Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Research at RCU, said:

"The value of this season lies in continuity. Returning to the field allows teams to test new evidence, refine chronologies and connect discoveries from individual sites to wider questions about movement, climate, exchange, food production, belief and long-term cultural change. Across AlUla and Khaybar, archaeology is revealing north-west Arabia as an active and connected landscape, shaped over millennia by movement, exchange, environmental change and human innovation."

The research programme also supports how AlUla's heritage is interpreted and shared with the public. Findings from archaeological missions inform exhibitions, site interpretation, Rawi storytelling, cultural programming and public-facing heritage experiences, helping visitors engage with AlUla's heritage through evidence-based narratives.

RCU's long-term archaeology programme forms part of its wider commitment to preserving AlUla's cultural heritage, investing in knowledge, strengthening national capabilities and positioning north-west Arabia as a major centre for archaeological research, cultural exchange and heritage-led development.

WILMINGTON, N.C., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vantaca, an AI-first technology company purpose-built for community association management, announced the successful go-live of Berkshire, an enterprise community management company headquartered in College Station, Texas. Berkshire now operates on Vantaca's full platform across 83 associations and nearly 14,000 doors, with HOAi, Lockbox, and Vantaca Pay deployed from day one, the latest move in Berkshire's ongoing push to stay ahead of what community management can be.

The September 1 go-live marks the culmination of what both teams describe as one of the most collaborative implementations in recent memory. Berkshire's leadership made the platform transition a company-wide priority, investing significant operational focus to ensure a seamless experience for the communities they serve. The result: a clean launch with no disruption to homeowners, boards, or day-to-day operations.

"We knew what was at stake for our communities, and our entire team rallied around making this implementation a success," said Suzan Reed, HOA Director at Berkshire. "Vantaca gives us the tools to deliver the kind of transparency and responsiveness our boards and homeowners expect. This is about raising the standard of service across every one of our associations and building the infrastructure we'll need for the communities we haven't added yet."

A Platform Built for Scale

With nearly 14K doors under management and a 20-person team, Berkshire represents the kind of high-capacity operation where technology decisions have an outsized impact on both efficiency and service quality. Rather than wait for growing pains to force the issue, Berkshire's leadership chose to get ahead of them, selecting Vantaca to bring their entire suite of offerings together in one connected system that allows a lean team to contribute more as the portfolio grows.

Berkshire's deployment includes HOAi, Vantaca's agentic AI infrastructure that enables the team to automate routine operational tasks and focus their expertise on the high-value work that strengthens communities; Lockbox, which accelerates cash application through automated payment processing and reduces manual reconciliation, giving the accounting team faster access to accurate financial data; and Vantaca Pay, integrated digital payments offering homeowners convenient, modern options to manage their assessments, improving collection rates and reducing friction for residents and staff alike.

Implementation as Partnership

Berkshire's implementation stood out for the depth of collaboration between the two organizations. Berkshire's team arrived with clear operational priorities and a commitment to making the transition work. That level of investment from the client team, combined with Vantaca's structured implementation methodology, produced a go-live with zero operational disruption.

Post-launch, the partnership has continued with the same intensity. Vantaca's post-go-live support team remains engaged with Berkshire as they optimize workflows and unlock the full capabilities of the platform across their portfolio.

"Berkshire's team set the standard for what a collaborative implementation looks like," said Tom Arnett, Chief Operating Officer, Vantaca. "They came in focused, prepared, and fully committed to their communities. When both sides invest at that level, the result speaks for itself: a clean go-live, and a management company positioning itself to lead the next era of community management."

About Vantaca

Vantaca is an AI-first technology company purpose-built for community association management. Serving more than 550 management companies representing over 6.5 million doors across the United States, Vantaca combines intelligent automation, integrated payments, and resident-facing features to elevate community living. Recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for five consecutive years, Vantaca is uniquely positioned to lead the modernization of community management through operational excellence, agentic AI, and an expanding ecosystem connecting management companies, residents, vendors, and boards.

Reolink Launches the OMVI 2i Ultra, Now Available for Purchase, Expanding the Award-Winning OMVI Series with Wire-Free, Solar-Powered Security

The newest OMVI camera combines dual-view coverage and intelligent SyncTrack Tracking in a bullet-PTZ design to deliver smarter protection and greater visibility

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Reolink, a global smart home security brand, has launched its newest addition to the award-winning OMVI Series. Unveiled at IFA 2026, the OMVI 2i Ultra, an all-in-one home security solution, is now available for purchase and delivers dual-view coverage, solar charging, and SyncTrack smart tracking in a wire-free, bullet-PTZ design. Now, users can cover driveways, yards, entrances, and side spaces with fewer devices and simpler installation.

"Consumers shouldn't have to choose between seeing the full picture and capturing the details that matter," said Annie Potter, Head of Marketing, Reolink North America. "From homeowners to business owners, the OMVI 2i Ultra is designed to deliver both, combining wide-area visibility with the ability to closely track activity across the spaces people want to protect. And with smart detection happening directly on the device, users can focus on meaningful activity—like people, vehicles, and animals—rather than simply getting more alerts."

Key features of the OMVI 2i Ultra

- Dual-View Coverage: The bullet-PTZ camera design combines features of a bullet camera and PT camera to provide dual-view coverage throughout the day and night. See the full scene with an 8MP (4K) wide-view camera, while a 5MP (3K) pan-tilt camera simultaneously monitors another direction and tracks detected objects using SyncTrack Tracking for full-area coverage and pinpoint control.

- Reolink SyncTrack: When the wide-view camera detects an object, the lower pan-tilt camera (355° pan & 55° tilt) maintains continuous, all-around tracking — even after the target moves beyond the wide-view camera's coverage. The auto-framing feature lets the PT cam automatically zoom in and adjust the view when it detects a target. Users can also tap anywhere on the wide-angle view to direct the PT camera to that exact spot.

- Longer Battery Life with Worry-Free Charging: A detachable 10,000mAh battery delivers up to 6 months* of use on a single charge — double the battery life of comparable bullet-PT cameras.** A built-in 6W solar panel featuring Reolink SolarEase™ technology increases charging efficiency by 26% and keeps the camera running on just 30 minutes of daily sunlight, even in low-light and partially shaded conditions.

The OMVI 2i Ultra provides an all-in-one home security solution with seamless installation and added security benefits. On-device smart detection identifies people, vehicles, and animals and focuses on critical activity, paired with a motion-activated spotlight, dual PIR sensors, infrared and color night vision, and siren and light deterrence. Supporting up to 12 simultaneous streams, it lets users access a real-time view and two-way audio. The OMVI 2i Ultra also offers local storage, including up to 512GB microSD cards and the Reolink Home Hub series, plus Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility. All features are available without a subscription or monthly fees.

Available on Amazon and Reolink.com for $229.99 in the U.S., the OMVI 2i Ultra enriches Reolink's OMVI Series and offers a variety of smart security options for consumers. For more information, visit Reolink.com.

NEW YORK, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In the latest episode of Grey Matter, University of South Carolina Women's Basketball Head Coach Dawn Staley joins Consello Founder, Chairman, and CEO Declan Kelly to reflect on over three decades at the highest levels of women's basketball. A four-time Olympic gold medalist and three-time national champion, Staley built her career around an uncompromising desire to win and an openness to taking different paths to victory. Her move into coaching taught her that the instincts that make a player successful do not always translate to impactful leadership. Instead, a focus on empathy and adaptability has defined her long-term success.

As a player growing up in North Philadelphia, Staley built her competitive drive by repeatedly learning from discomfort, setbacks, and change. She speaks candidly about the losses that have stayed with her, often longer than the victories, and how those experiences sharpened her mindset.

As a coach, Staley constantly reconsiders the assumptions that served her well on the court and listens closely to what each of her players needed. She has brought that flexibility to the University of South Carolina, while maintaining the standards she believes are necessary to win. Leading has required her to adapt her approach and invest meaningful time in aligning players and the people around them, including parents, trainers and agents, so everyone understands their role in supporting the team's success.

Her conversation with Kelly explores how lessons from all chapters of her career have shaped her understanding of what it takes to lead. Throughout, Staley makes the case that empathy and high standards are not at odds, and the combination of both is what makes winning possible. The full episode is available at Consello.com and on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.

The Two Southern California Brands Mark Seven Years of Partnership, Reaching More Than 55,000 Los Angeles Students and Contributing $7 Million to Local Youth Programs

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacsun and the Los Angeles Rams celebrated seven years of partnership on Sunday with a special gameday experience, marking a relationship between two Southern California brands that has brought together fashion, sport and a shared commitment to the communities they call home.

Since first teaming up in 2019, Pacsun and the Rams have turned their shared connection to Southern California into experiences and initiatives that engage and support young people across Los Angeles. The partnership also brings together two of Pacsun's core cultural pillars, fashion and sport, creating opportunities to connect with young people through the culture they care about while extending that impact beyond gameday.

Over the course of the partnership, Pacsun and the Rams have reached more than 55,000 Los Angeles students and contributed $7 million to local youth and community programs. That impact has taken shape through initiatives including "Geared for Greatness" and "Loads of Love" which help address barriers to school attendance in under-resourced communities, alongside clothing distributions, school pop-up shops, flag football clinics, and support for the Rams' wildfire relief efforts in January 2025, creating resources, experiences, and opportunities for young people and families across Los Angeles.

To celebrate the seven-year milestone, Pacsun brought together creators and friends of the brand for a suite experience during Sunday's Rams game at SoFi Stadium. Guests included professional dancer and choreographer Ezra Sosa, reality television personality Caleb McDaniel, and creators Madi Monroe, Samantha Kruse, Tati McQuay, Nathan Rednowers, Maru Lee, Nick Grajeda, Connor Newsum, Gabe Pietrafasa, Rose Ghahary, Malia Fowler, Makenzie Fowler, and Kamri Peterson.

"Sport is a core part of how Pacsun connects with our community, and our seven-year partnership with the Rams has given us an authentic way to bring that pillar to life," said Richard Cox, Chief Merchandising Officer at Pacsun. "What makes this relationship so meaningful is that it goes beyond gameday.

Beef 'O' Brady's Names Andover, MN Franchisee Bradley Dethmers 2026 Franchisee of the Year

Bradley Dethmers also earned Marketer of the Year honors for the local presence and community involvement he has made central to his Andover restaurant.

ANDOVER, Minn., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beef 'O' Brady's, the family sports pub franchise, has named Andover, Minnesota, franchisee Bradley Dethmers its 2026 Franchisee of the Year. Dethmers also received the brand's Marketer of the Year Award during the franchise's parent company, FSC Franchise Co.'s, 2026 conference.

"Bradley represents everything we look for in a Beef 'O' Brady's franchisee," said Chris Elliott, CEO of FSC Franchise Co. "He brought decades of hospitality experience to Andover, but what really sets him apart is how he leads. He puts relationships first, with his guests, his team and the community around him. He's built a restaurant where families, schools and local organizations know they have a partner, and that's exactly what this brand was built on. We're proud to name him our Franchisee of the Year."

The award comes as the Andover Beef 'O' Brady's marks 18 years in business on October 6. Dethmers, who has nearly 30 years of hospitality experience, purchased the restaurant in May 2021.

Before becoming a Beef 'O' Brady's franchisee, Dethmers opened restaurants around the world and worked with several franchise brands. That experience has influenced how he runs the Andover restaurant, particularly his focus on hospitality and building relationships with guests.

"With any brand that I've been a part of, I've always believed that grassroots marketing is the best way to go," Dethmers said. "People want to have their hands shaken. They want to be acknowledged. They want to know that whatever they're working on is just as important as what you're trying to grow within your business."

That focus also earned Dethmers the 2026 Marketer of the Year Award, which recognizes franchisees who build connections with guests, employees and their communities while finding ways to keep their businesses involved locally.

Dethmers said his approach is influenced by growing up in a small town, where local businesses and residents came together when a school, team or organization needed support. He has worked to create that same sense of community at Beef 'O' Brady's.

"Some people think you can just go out right away and get people to come in, but we really built a community base here," Dethmers said. "When I was a kid growing up in my small town, if they needed to raise money for the football team, the entire town came together."

Dethmers also recognizes his team's role in making the restaurant's community events successful. Employees prepare for busy fundraising days and local events knowing they will have the support they need to serve a full restaurant.

"We have a very high-octane team here that likes to go," Dethmers said. "They get excited when they know about upcoming events because they know it's going to be a fast, high-energy day."

As he looks to the future, Dethmers continues to focus on the relationships that have helped make Beef 'O' Brady's a gathering place for local families, organizations and businesses for the last 18 years.
