Access and arrival

Allow half an hour each way to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), 22 km (14 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.

5.4 km (3.4 mi) out from the middle of New York City — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.

New York City has 509 venues mapped in total and a population of 8,478,072. The New York City guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

The kind of event it takes

This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.

  • networking mixers

    An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.

  • fundraisers and galas

    A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
