Getting there
22 km (14 mi) separates The Town Hall 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.
The centre of New York City is 5 km (3.1 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.
Formats this suits
The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. The Town Hall is 15th of 148 such houses mapped in New York City.
- 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.
