How attendees reach it

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.

Programming it

Programme this as a theatre, because that is what it is. One track, one stage, an audience facing the same way and 1,058 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.
