Also mapped in New York City (409)

Every venue mapped in New York City appears above. The ones with enough published detail to be worth reading have their own guide and are linked; the rest are named here, which is honest about what the record holds without giving each of them a page made of three facts.

Convention and exhibition space

5 venues in New York City are classified as exhibition or convention space. They are the only rooms here designed around a floor plan rather than a seating plan.

Capacities are the figure the venue or an encyclopaedia entry published. They are usually the seated maximum, and the same room in banquet or reception layout can differ by half. Confirm the layout you want before you plan around a number.

Getting attendees to New York City

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 21 km (13 mi) out — a normal airport transfer, worth an hour in the run of show on the first morning.

Local time is New York time (America/New_York) — set every session time in the app to that zone and let attendees' phones do the conversion.

At about 28,217 residents per square mile the city is compact enough that a venue and its hotel block are usually walkable, which removes a shuttle line from your budget.

Hoboken, Jersey City and Union City are close enough to draw from for a day rate, and to fall back on if New York City has nothing free on your dates.

Shows that return every year

Worth knowing before you sign

Choice is not the constraint here

With 509 venues mapped, availability rarely fails. What fails is comparison: shortlist on capacity and distance from the airport first, and only then start touring.

Check the city calendar first

New York City carries recurring shows including Moogfest, Jerusalem conference in New York and Transmission Fest. Hotel rates and venue availability move sharply around them, so pick your dates against that calendar rather than against your own.

What event67 costs for a New York City event

A New York City programme at 950 activated attendees — sized to MetLife Stadium, the largest stated capacity in the New York City dataset — prices like this. Nothing is charged for the first 50, and nothing at all is charged past 1,000.

billable, after the first 50 are free
900billable, after the first 50 are free
for the whole event, at $5 each
$4,500for the whole event, at $5 each

You are billed for people, not for the venue, so the room you choose in New York City does not change this figure. Nothing is charged for an attendee who registers and never opens the app.

By event type

With a stated ceiling of 82,500 seats, New York City can carry a full trade show or a multi-track annual meeting without splitting the audience across buildings.

  • trade shows and exhibitions

    5 exhibition or convention halls mean a booth plan is possible in New York City without renting a marquee.

  • multi-track conferences

    A 82,500-seat room carries a plenary with breakouts running alongside it.

  • association annual meetings

    An association meeting needs one big room, several small ones and a hotel block, which is the combination New York City is set up for.

  • festivals

    An arena or stadium floor at 82,500 takes an audience no conference venue in New York City can.

  • sports tournaments

    The same rooms already run fixtures, so load-in and crowd flow are solved.
