Reservation Process and Availability

We require a written request on organizational letterhead, addressed to “meeting rooms,” sent by mail, fax, or e-mail.  The e-mail address to reserve meeting spaces is 411@caenyc.org. See current calendar for booked events.

The room request should include the following.

  • Desired date of meeting
  • Starting time (including set-up time)
  • Ending time (including clean-up time)
  • Number of people attending
  • Number of rooms needed
  • Nature of meeting (staff retreat, board meeting, workshop, etc.)

If this is your first request for a meeting room rental at CAE, please also include:

  • A brief description of the organization (mission statement)
  • 501(c)3 status, if applicable
  • Contact information including contact person
  • Mailing address
  • Phone number

Meeting time includes the time a group requires to set up and clean up. Therefore, please include this time in your request for a meeting space. For example, if your group starts at 9:30 AM and you need half an hour to set up, please request a start time of 9:00 AM. The same holds for clean-up. Please note that your group will be charged for both set-up and clean-up time.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations must be made 48 hours in advance of the scheduled meeting or the group will be charged the full amount for the meeting scheduled. If a group does not show up for its scheduled meeting, it will also be charged the full amount.

Blacked-out or reserved dates are updated on the calendar. For answers to more questions, to arrange a tour, or to get more information, e-mail 411@caenyc.org.
