Convene

Convene is more than just a meeting, event, and flexible workplace provider - we're a hospitality company at our core. And each of our nearly 40 locations across the US and UK have an Executive-Chef-led kitchen to provide in-house catering with seasonal yet regional menu offerings that feature premium, locally sourced ingredients to create energizing cuisine — a delectable lunch without that mid-afternoon slump. 📰 Our Head of Product James Frankis and Senior Director of F&B Chef Ryan Gallagher recently spoke with Forbes about how an elevated food and beverage experience is becoming a pillar of the modern-day office experience.
