Recharge and Reflect

Recharge and Reflect

Throughout the Annual Meeting, dedicated spaces are available to support focus, rest, and personal well-being. Whether you need a quiet place to work, a moment to recharge, or time for reflection, these thoughtfully designated areas are here for you.


The Midtown Work Lounge

Need a place to plug in and power through a few to-dos? The Midtown Work Lounge is your NYC-style “get it done” space—set up for quick email checks, last-minute edits, and quiet work between sessions. Drop in for a few focused minutes, catch up on what you need, then head back out to the bright lights and community moments of the Annual Meeting..


The Central Park Calm Lounge

New York moves fast—so we created a place where you don’t have to. The Central Park Calm Lounge is a quiet, welcoming space to pause, reset, and recharge between sessions. Settle into a comfortable seat, take a few deep breaths, stretch, journal, or simply enjoy a moment of stillness.

Like Central Park offers a breath of calm in the middle of the city, this lounge is your moment of ease during a full Annual Meeting. This is a technology-free zone—an intentional space to unplug, be present, and leave feeling more grounded, refreshed, and ready for what’s next.


The City Sanctuary

New York is full of energy—this room is your place to step away from it. The City Sanctuary is a quiet, respectful space set aside for meditation, prayer, and personal reflection throughout the Annual Meeting. Come for a few minutes or longer to breathe, center yourself, read, journal, or simply sit in stillness.
