Getting there

Allow half an hour each way to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), 18 km (11 mi) away, and rather more if your first session starts during the morning peak.

At 2.2 km (1.4 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.

Hempstead has 8 venues mapped in total and a population of 59,569. The Hempstead guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Formats this suits

At 11,929 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.

  • award ceremonies

    A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

  • festivals

    An audience of 11,929 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
