Nasdaq MarketSite hosts corporate receptions, investor days, press conferences, executive dinners and private parties in five event spaces in the Nasdaq tower on Times Square, for groups of 75 to 350 guests. Nasdaq sells the spaces directly and supplies its own audio-visual team and in-house catering.
Seminars and company events
The 10th Floor is the largest space and is promoted for investor days, private parties and networking receptions. The 2nd Floor suits analyst days, press conferences, executive dinners and panels, and has a large studio wall for presentations or brand messaging. Studio B overlooks Times Square and is used for IPOs, live broadcasts, media interviews, private events and conferences. The Gallery commemorates companies listed on Nasdaq and is suited to networking receptions. Studio A is the home of the daily opening and closing bell ceremonies.
Every space comes with a dedicated audio-visual technician, large LED walls for presentations or digital content, video streaming and webcasting, a customized lighting system and advanced communications systems. On-site event specialists work with the organizer, and custom floor plans and immersive buildouts are available.
Weddings and receptions
The official site presents the spaces for corporate and private events and does not describe a wedding offer. Private parties and receptions are named on the 10th Floor page. Ask the events team before planning a wedding.
Rooms and capacities
10th Floor: up to 350 guests, a 41,220 square foot space opening onto a 2,000 square foot roof terrace at the top of the tower. 2nd Floor: up to 150 guests. Studio B: up to 150 guests. The Gallery: up to 100 guests on its room page, while the events overview mentions 75, so confirm the figure for your layout. Studio A: up to 75 guests. Floor plans for the 10th and 2nd floors can be downloaded from the official site, and a 3D tour is available.
Accommodation
The venue has no bedrooms. The Times Square welcome page lists partner hotels in Midtown, with a named contact at each one for group bookings, so attendees can be housed nearby.
Catering
Catering is run by Nasdaq's in-house team, called Cloud, which describes a culinary team trained in Michelin-starred kitchens. It offers tailor-made menus, branded food and beverage options and artisanal experiences. The 2nd Floor can host a culinary experience or product demonstration, and Studio B can host private dinners.
History and setting
The spaces sit in the Nasdaq tower in Times Square, the site of the exchange's opening and closing bell ceremonies and of its broadcast studios. The Gallery displays the history of Nasdaq-100 companies. Branding opportunities are a selling point: the 10th Floor offers customized digital branding, and the LED walls can carry a host's content.
Getting there
The tower is at 151 West 42nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, on Times Square. The official site has a location and directions page for visitors, and it lists nearby partner hotels. Because the building is a working financial site, plan arrival times and guest lists with the events team.
