Independence LIVE

Independence LIVE is a customer and community experience centre operated by Independence Blue Cross at 1919 Market Street in central Philadelphia. Alongside its member services and health and wellbeing programmes, the centre accepts requests from local organisations, community groups, non-profits and businesses wishing to hold certain meetings and events there.

External organisers can request space for board meetings, brainstorming sessions, educational seminars and non-profit events. Reservations are considered for weekdays, generally between 8 am and 5 pm. Organisers are asked to provide event details, attendance numbers, timings and any room layout or facility requirements. Requests need to be submitted at least 15 business days ahead, and a current certificate of insurance is required. The venue says it will normally respond to a request within three to four business days. Availability and any requested arrangements should be confirmed directly with the Independence LIVE team.

The centre also runs health and wellbeing activities, with themes including nutrition, fitness, stress management, family health and financial wellbeing. Its facilities support customer services, member assistance and community programming, so the space has a particular civic and educational character rather than being presented as a conventional private-party venue. Independence LIVE is therefore most relevant to event planners seeking a weekday setting for a meeting, seminar or community-focused gathering in Philadelphia. Contact the venue to discuss the event format, scheduling and practical requirements before planning around the space.
