Social Tables has been wowing the District as of late with its cloud-based event management software. With the mission statement “to transform one-time events into life-long experiences,” CEO Dan Berger and his team believe they can revolutionize the way events work.

At the end of 2013, they made the next step as a growing company by moving into a prime space in Chinatown, just steps from Gallery Place and the Verizon Center. It’s a big move for the company that had before been located in 1776.

Tuesday, they held an open house for the new location to let the community in to see what they had done. The final product looked great.

The office is built around the company’s 9 core values: customer service, decidedly determined, every day is a school day, teams are families, always honest, stay lean, constant innovation, high quality and always outrageous. These values are demonstrated in several areas around the space.

As an event-planning startup, and therefore spatial design pros, their office is laid out in an intriguing way that encourages an openness while also giving people the chance to escape into privacy. There’s also a level of organizational equality felt throughout the space. For instance, while many in Berger’s position might take the glorious and coveted corner office space for himself, he sits out in the open desk area with everyone else. 

This company not only has the talent to succeed, but they’ve got the passion and style to do it with some grace. Watch for big things in the near future.
