The JAI
Named after magnanimous donors Joan and Irwin Jacobs, The JAI is a flexible and contemporary space whose open floor plan allows it to transform from a cabaret or night club to an elegant setting for a formal dinner, or even a private meeting/symposium space. The iconic window to Fay Avenue offers an elegant touch for receptions, while drawing a curtain creates a more intimate concert environment. A temporary stage can be installed, and in-house, cutting-edge lighting and sound systems will help bring your event to life. Three sets of doors open from The JAI directly to The Wu Tsai QRT.yrd beyond, expanding the room’s flexibility for a wide variety of options.
The Conrad’s exclusive vendors are standing by for catering services, valet parking, custom cocktails and any equipment you might need to support your event. Whether you need rows of tables and chairs with coffee service for a lecture, or full linens, silverware, and decorations for a gala fundraiser, The JAI is an ideal venue.
The JAI offers the function and utility of a theatrical “black box” in a much more sophisticated and stylish shell.
