Trellis
We design the conditions for connection.
A gathering and experience studio in New York, inspired by the world.
A gathering is not a line item. It is infrastructure.
When the right people share a room built with intention, trust forms faster, ideas move, and the relationships that grow a business actually take hold. Trellis works with brands and fast-growing companies to design gatherings that do that work.
The room is the strategy.
trellis
/ˈtrɛlɪs/ noun
a light structure that supports climbing plants, helping living things grow taller and stronger, and reach toward the light, than they could on their own.
We think people grow the same way.
Trellis is a gathering and experience studio, built on a simple belief: the right people in the right room can change the direction of a life.
It grew from years of bringing people together across business, culture, and the arts. Retreats, dinners, private programming, and experiences that don't fit a single name. Different settings, one throughline.
What we make is never really about the event. It is about who you meet that night, and who stays alongside your journey for years to come.
Demi Palmer
I've always been drawn to the places where different worlds meet: art and business, policy and culture, ambition and community. I've spent years in consulting and operating roles, and just as many building a creative brand of my own in Brooklyn, hosting intimate gatherings rooted in connection and storytelling. Most of what I do is bring those worlds into the same room.
I've traveled to more than 50 countries, but the moments that stay with me are the simplest ones: strangers becoming friends around a table, conversations that outlast the night. That thread runs through everything I do, and Trellis grew from it.
I started Trellis because I believe ambitious people deserve spaces that feel inspiring and deeply human.
