Our centerpiece event space for Civic Hall is made possible through an extremely generous donation by Craig Newmark, the Founder of craigslist and Craig Newmark Philanthropies.

With soaring glass windows overlooking the Union Square city landscape, the Auditorium space offers variable capacity and configurations – from a 250-person gala dinner to a 300+ keynote address, to a 500+ standing cocktail party. Whether you are hosting a conference or a fundraising event, the Craig Newmark Auditorium provides the flexibility to serve your event capacity needs and includes state-of-the-art amenities accommodating a wide range of meetings and events.

Special rates for nonprofits, community organizations, Civic Hall members and Zero Irving tenants are available; please contact us with your event information and we will reach out to you with a customized pricing proposal.

The Symposium Spaces comprises five beautifully designed mixed-use spaces that can accommodate a variety of group sizes. Select a conference/breakout room, all five spaces, or combine The Symposium Spaces with the Craig Newman Auditorium for larger events or conferences. All rooms can be configured based on meeting or event theme.

Our top-level preferred vendors will support all your events and meeting requirements. Our à la carte menu of options affords you maximum flexibility in terms of who you can work with. We offer the option to hire one of our event planning professionals to coordinate all your event or meeting requirements.
