Audi Opens Midtown Showroom

This month the U.S. division of Audi opened the Audi Forum, what the auto manufacturer calls its first “brand experience center.” But you can call the 6,400-square-foot space a showroom for the company’s cars—or a venue for your own event. The cars and Audi signage can be removed, and the space is outfitted with advanced technology, including a large, moving LED panel that can display high definition images, individually controlled speaker systems, three 63-inch plasma screens, and videoconferencing capabilities. The L-shaped main floor holds 150, and there’s also a 10-seat meeting room, and an elevated lounge area furnished with low white sofas. —Anna Sekula
