About New York

New York, often called New York City (NYC), is the most populous city in the United States. It is located at the southern tip of New York State on New York Harbor, one of the world's largest natural harbors. The city comprises five boroughs, each coextensive with its respective county. It is the geographical and demographic center of both the Northeast megalopolis and the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the United States by both population and urban area. New York is a global center of finance and commerce, culture, technology, entertainment and media, academics and scientific output, the arts and fashion, and, as home to the headquarters of the United Nations, international diplomacy.

Getting There

• New York is served by three major airports: LaGuardia Airport (LGA), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). All three offer convenient connections to Manhattan and the surrounding areas. Once you arrive, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) operates an extensive subway and bus network that connects throughout the city, making it easy to reach your hotel and the symposium venue. For those preferring direct transportation, taxi services and rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft operate throughout New York and provide door-to-door service from airports and hotels. Public transit is typically the most economical option for getting around the city during the event.
