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.

The centre of New York City is 3.2 km (2 mi) away, which is a taxi rather than a walk and a reason to publish an arrival map.

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.

  • community meetings

    Room for 600 covers most community and member meetings.
