New York City’s excitement, energy and value are unparalleled, with iconic venues, world-class restaurants and hotels and 24/7 convenience. The City’s prominence as a global business and financial capital, as well as its vibrant mix of arts and culture, history and renowned attractions, makes it a can’t-miss destination for meetings and events.
NYC & Company, the City’s official destination marketing organization, works with planners at every stage of the event cycle to create the best possible experience for attendees. Our Convention Development team helps planners narrow down venue and hotel choices, distributes RFPs to a network of hospitality businesses, collects and reviews proposals—even coordinates site visits. Once an event is booked, our Destination Services team works with planners to connect them with NYC & Company member businesses—approximately 2,000 strong—representing a broad range of venues, products and services.
Our newly redesigned website is the number one resource for planning meetings and events in New York City from start to finish. A monthly newsletter and ongoing news coverage keep planners up to date on new properties and hotels for meetings, developments in the meetings industry and everything that’s happening in the five boroughs. Event strategists can even use our product directory to compare properties and submit RFPs.
