New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the U.S. With that many people in a relatively small area, you can expect some big ideas and intriguing destinations for meetings and events. Newark, the most populous city in the state, is part of the greater New York Metropolitan area—just eight miles from Manhattan—offering the benefits of being near New York City at a more affordable rate.

Atlantic City is another meetings and conventions powerhouse in New Jersey that shouldn’t be overlooked. Investing millions in its infrastructure, Atlantic City now offers 1.8 million square feet of collective meeting space across the destination. With a growing F&B culture, its location on the ocean and its many casino hotels, there’s something for every group here.
