Carnegie Hall was opened in 1891 and owned by New York City, which puts it at 135 years old.

Access and arrival

John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 22 km (14 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.

6.1 km (3.8 mi) from the centre puts this outside comfortable walking range of any hotel district, so the shuttle is part of the event rather than an extra.

The published number for the venue is +1-212-247-7800.

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

A fixed-seat house suits a single-track programme: keynotes, panels, award ceremonies and film. It does not suit a trade floor, banqueting or anything that needs the seats to move, so pair it with a nearby function room if you need both.

  • award ceremonies

    Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.

  • product launches

    A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.

  • multi-track conferences

    Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.

What already runs here

  • Dimitri Mitropoulos International Music Competitionrecurring event, since 1961

The app bill, at this size

Take 240 people through the door in Carnegie Hall — a plausible programme at a venue of this kind in New York City. The first 50 activated attendees are free on every event, so only the rest are billed, and the total stops moving at 1,000 however many more turn up.

You are billed for people, not for the room, so this figure does not change if you move the event down the road. event67 has no floor-plan or booking product — the venue handles the space, the app handles the people in it.
