Access and arrival

23 km (14 mi) separates David H. Koch Theater from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) — normal for a city venue, and worth a line in the joining instructions rather than a shuttle contract.

This is an out-of-centre venue — 6.7 km (4.2 mi) from the middle of New York City — which usually buys you parking and load-in access in exchange for a transport plan.

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

Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 2,586 of them. Catering and breakouts need a second space nearby.

  • 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.
