Plaid and This Week in Fintech Take Over Maxwell Social

by David Litwak | 2026-06-17

NY Tech Week was off to a great start thanks to Plaid and This Week In Fintech as they took over Maxwell Social with help of Plaid House as a hub of connection and conversation was created in our space. The event welcomed founders, fintech operators, investors and senior leaders as we opened our Grand Room and Garden Room, all of which sported the event's branding, designed by our in-house team that included mirror decals, 3D Plaid House installation and custom backdrops.

We knew this would be a large program to manage, so to ensure the event would flow smoothly we decided to create different spaces all throughout Maxwell, like interactive stations with message recordings and table set ups for snack breaks, all prepared by our amazing chef,  that allowed people to discuss what was talked about in each session. 

One more event under our belt that shows a space is not what you see, it is what you make of it, and on this occasion our place became a hub for one of the industry’s busiest weeks in New York.
