Access and arrival
22 km (14 mi) separates Pershing Square Signature Center 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.
5.1 km (3.2 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.
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. 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.
