The Feast Workshops
“The
Feast” is a cross-disciplinary series of programs addressing
social
innovation and new ways to make the world a better place.
Our secret
sauce lies in a healthy combination of passion, creativity,
and
entrepreneurship to shift the way things are done – thereby
changing
individuals, industries, and ultimately the world.
Two words: hands on. For those who want to roll up their sleeves, and turn their learning
and inspiration into application and action. Join us for workshops,
co-working, networking, and un-conference action.
By signing up for a workshop, you'll have access to an all day playground with others looking to change the world. Plop down and knock out some work in the co-working space, or collaborate and share ideas through the un-conference. The entire day is based around the principles of open space technology.

MEET at the APARTMENT
Meet at the Apartment is a two-story, 2,500 square-foot,
highly stylized open loft in the Soho district of New York City.
Fully engineered for creative thought to flourish, Meet has been
intuitively outfitted with idea-generating essentials: a library stocked
with art, design and photography reference books; a kitchen pantry
filled with goodies; and breakout rooms that could double as private
rooms in the trendiest NY clubs.
