New York's Vibrant Host for Community and Sport
No fancier place for an event fusing sport, wellness, and culture than New York City—especially during the buzz of US Open week. From August 26–27, 2026, Times Square is the dynamic stage for the third global chapter of M Social Collective. Forged at M Social Resort Penang and then further shaped in Paris, the New York edition looks to further unite the worlds of tennis, hospitality, and urban culture during one of sports' most hyped moments. It's like a gala with sneakers and sweatbands rather than black ties.
A Mix of Stars, Panels, and Honey
Now, the folks behind M Social know how to host a gig. Guests, including ATP players Yannick Hanfmann and Hamad Medjedovic, aim to rivet attendees at New York’s very own Beast & Butterflies rooftop—right in the heart of Times Square. Participants will be treated to a two-day fiesta intertwining wellness, sustainability, and sport through tightly-packed programs. It’s not just a cornucopia of buzzing events; it’s a showcase of the M Social brand ethos. It almost feels like the Wimbledon spirit was swept across the Atlantic to meet New York's grit.
