Last week in the Times Square area, I attended the Design + Real Estate Networking Night—and it turned out to be one of the most productive and enjoyable professional events I’ve been to in a while.
Hosted at Sir Henry’s, the night brought together a thoughtful mix of professionals from across the home and property world: interior designers, real estate agents, stagers, architects, contractors, photographers, and more. Whether you came looking for referrals, collaborators, or just fresh industry insight, this event delivered.

A Professional Atmosphere That Encouraged Genuine Exchange
From the start, the setup made it easy to connect. No presentations or formalities—just a smart, open layout where people naturally found conversation. The energy was focused but unforced. You could dive into a discussion about staging trends, zoning issues, or new listings without feeling rushed or rehearsed.
Over the course of the evening, I had several valuable conversations—including one with an interior designer whose work aligns perfectly with the kind of projects I manage. We spoke about everything from client expectations to design challenges, and by the end of the night, I knew I’d found someone I’d gladly refer to future clients. These weren’t surface-level chats. They were the kind that open doors.
A Room Full of the Right People
The event attracted exactly the kind of professionals you’d hope to meet:
- Interior Designers
- Real Estate Agents & Brokers
- Home Stagers
- Architects
- Property Managers
- Real Estate Photographers
- Renovation Contractors
- Furniture Showroom Reps
It felt like everyone there had something to offer—and was genuinely interested in hearing what others were doing. That kind of mutual interest made networking feel natural, not transactional.
A Relaxed, Friendly Bonus
While the night was certainly valuable from a professional standpoint, it was also surprisingly relaxing. The mood was easygoing, the conversations authentic. It felt more like a great night out where you just happened to meet the right people. I even connected with a few folks I’d happily grab coffee with outside of work.
So yes, while the focus was on business, the atmosphere made space for friendly, human connection—which often matters just as much.
Ticket Breakdown
If you’re considering it for the next round, here’s what you can expect:
- Early Bird: $28.52 (limited to 5 spots)
- General Admission: $33.85
- 2-Ticket Bundle: $50 (perfect if you want to bring a colleague or collaborator)
It’s more than worth the price for the value it offers—especially if you’re serious about expanding your network.
Final Thoughts
The Design + Real Estate Networking Night struck that rare balance: productive and relaxed, professional and friendly. If you’re looking to grow your network with intention—to meet others in your field, get referrals, and find real opportunities—this event is a smart investment.
And if you also happen to meet some great people along the way? That’s just a bonus.
