5.3 km (3.3 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.

Programming it

Smaller spaces are where most events actually happen, and Edison Theatre is one of them. A single-track day works; a programme with a trade floor attached does not.

  • 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.

  • community meetings

    Room for 541 covers most community and member meetings.
