New York needs no internal selling. Eight hours direct from Stockholm, a city that runs on meetings, and a programme that writes itself once the group is on the ground. We handle flights, hotels, venues and everything in between.

Why New York works for conferences

New York is the destination nobody declines. Eight hours direct from Stockholm, no connection, and a city where the conference infrastructure is as good as anywhere in the world because it hosts meetings constantly. The six-hour time difference works in your favour flying out – leave in the morning, land in the afternoon, and the group has an evening. What it costs is money rather than effort: New York is expensive, and that is the honest trade-off.

Stay & venues

Hotels and meeting venues in New York

Location decides everything in New York, because a bad address means the group spends its days in traffic. New York Hilton Midtown is the workhorse – one of the largest conference hotels in the city, on Sixth Avenue with Central Park at the top of the street. Moxy Times Square is the cheaper, younger option with rooftop bars that solve several evenings at once. The Standard High Line sits down in the Meatpacking District, which suits a smaller group that wants to be away from midtown. Rooms are small by European standards – that is New York, not the hotel.

Activities

Activities and dinners in New York

Walking the Brooklyn Bridge at the end of the afternoon and eating in Dumbo afterwards is the cheapest good idea in the city and it works every time. A guided food tour through Chelsea Market and the West Village gives a group the neighbourhoods rather than the landmarks. For the view, Top of the Rock looks back at the Empire State Building, which is the one photograph people actually want. A Broadway show fills an evening without anyone having to organise it, and the group books as a block.

FAQ

FAQ

What's included in a Way trip?

We handle the whole thing: flights, accommodation, meeting venue, activities, transfers and project management, with on-site support during the trip.

What does a conference trip to New York cost?

Prices start at around SEK 18,000 per person and depend on group size, accommodation, season and how much programme you want. New York is expensive year round, and the season affects the hotel rate more than anything else.

How long is the flight to New York?

About 8 hours direct from Stockholm. From JFK or Newark it is 45–75 minutes into Manhattan depending on traffic, which is worth building into the schedule.

Is there a time difference?

Six hours behind Sweden. Flying out is the easy direction – leave in the morning and the group still has an evening in New York. Coming home takes a day to recover from, so avoid scheduling anything the morning after.

When is the best time for a conference in New York?

April to June and September to November. Summer is humid and winter is genuinely cold, so the shoulder seasons give the group a city it wants to walk around in.
