Being home to one of the most famous cities in the world, it’s no secret that New York State holds a major draw for meetings, events and conventions thanks to the might of New York City. Attendees from all over the world revel at the chance to experience the sights and sounds of the Big Apple, and it has the venues to accommodate, from the Javits Center—which hosts more than 170 events per year—to its unique museums, restaurants and more.

Don’t overlook the rest of New York State though, which can offer groups just as much. Venture to Lake Placid, a two-time host of the winter Olympics with a LEED Gold-certified conference center, or to Rochester on Lake Ontario, which is the gateway to the Finger Lakes Region and has a dynamic culinary and arts culture of its own.
