Where you go when the audience is American media, finance or enterprise buyers.

The honest version

New York is expensive and complicated and sometimes the only answer, because the people you need to reach are here and will not travel. Venue and supplier quality is high, union rules govern most large spaces, and load-in in Manhattan is an operation in itself.

Plan the money carefully. Labour, venue minimums and service charges make American event budgets behave differently from European ones.

Best suited to

  • Media and press events
  • Financial services and investor events
  • Enterprise customer summits
  • Product launches targeting US media

Operating notes

What actually decides whether New York works for you.

Airlift, hotel capacity, ground and season — in that order, and before anyone falls in love with a photograph.

01

Access and airlift

JFK, Newark and LaGuardia between them cover the world. ESTA or a visa is required depending on nationality and should be started early.

02

Hotels and capacity

Extensive but expensive; large blocks require early commitment and firm attrition terms.

03

Ground and distance

Manhattan traffic and loading restrictions are severe. Coach movements need permits, planned stopping and generous time.

04

Season and calendar

September to November and April to June are busiest. Major weeks such as the UN General Assembly distort the whole city.
