An interactive gathering for founders, investors, designers, technologists, and operators curious about how space shapes human performance, regulation, and connection. Tech Week is in full swing. This is your pause. Consider a different kind of technology: the environments we move through every day. We optimize everything in our stack: sleep, HRV, glucose, focus. But almost no one has optimized the environment itself. Gather for an intimate evening built around a simple premise: the spaces around us may be doing more than we think. Part conversation, part shared experience, this curated gathering explores the relationship between environment and human response, and how design may shape how we focus, restore, connect, and feel. From light and acoustics to sound, rhythm, and materiality, the evening invites conversation around how the spaces we inhabit may be influencing us in ways we rarely stop to consider. Designed for unexpected connections, fresh perspectives, and a few thoughtfully layered moments that unfold in the room. For those curious about the intersection of space, technology, and human-centered environments. And what happens when the environment itself becomes part of the experience. About the Hosts: Anna Maria Mannarino is an award-winning interior and event designer and founder of Mannarino Designs, known for creating human-centered environments at the intersection of spatial design, wellbeing, and human experience. Her work spans residential, hospitality, and experiential spaces, with a practice grounded in how environments can support restoration, resilience, connection, and the emotional experience of space. Christina Kolokotroni is Principal of Mega Exhibit, an experiential agency and production studio creating environments that shape attention, behavior, and emotion. She helps bring ideas into physical environments from concept to execution. Recent work includes activations for CES, NBA All-Star Weekend, and CJ Cup Byron Nelson, exploring how space can shape human response. This event is a part of #NYTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
