Squarespace Party NYC Recap

Wow — what an incredible night.

Our first Squarespace event was a monumental success, drawing over 150 amazing people to our new offices in SoHo on Friday night. Most stayed quite a while, and the crowd was lingering fully past midnight. I was completely stunned at the turnout and I’d like to thank all of you for coming out!

When I started Squarespace 5 years ago, and even just a year ago before our NYC team was formed, I never imagined we’d be at this point. The best part about the event, for myself — was that it didn’t feel like a tech event to me. The crowd that came out spanned industries. Everyone who came out was incredibly diverse and talented. and it was a very validating experience to see that what we’re working for is attracting the sort of people that are so inspiring to us. Something is going right.

We’ll be posting pictures of the event here Monday. Thanks again to everyone who showed up, and if you didn’t say come say hi this time, please do next time!

That does sound awesome. Sadly I'm just learning about the party today, so missed it in actuality. Obviously I should be checking this blog more regularly. But is there any way, when you do an event like this, you could email us (well, me really) with invites and notifications?

Amazing event! I'm sorry my assistant and I had to leave early. Next time we are planning to stay until kicked out. In the past month I've joined four of my sites to squarespace and have never looked back. It is even MORE than I expected, which doesn't happen very often. You are totally right about the group of people you attracted to the party... we made great contacts that got me in what I would call a "creative frenzy." Yesterday I decided to bump up to your $50 plan and I got so many more ideas for how to connect with my fans. You are making the web a welcome place. (Especially for perfectionists like me!)

Hey Anthony, thanks for a kick ass party! It was a lot of fun and I met some cool squarespace people. Best of luck with your new office!

I too, unfortunately, just learned about the party today. I would have definitely made it out. I'll keep my eyes peeled for another one. Congrats on the new space. Always fun to get some new digs.

How about those pictures you promised? I want to see how your new office space turned out, too!
