NEXT YEAR, NEW YORK HOSTS THE FIRST WORLD PRIDE TO TAKE PLACE IN THE US
year New York welcomed over six million delegates. With the flurry of new spaces and infrastructure to cater to the MICE market, it’s no surprise that New York is winning the hearts of a generation of ever-connected business travellers who want to combine work and leisure in a fast-paced but fun environment. “Te impressive evolution and new product coming
to market in recent years across all boroughs and neighbourhoods has allowed the city to offer new, immersive and authentic options to first, second, third or regular visitors to New York City,” says Cito. While previously, ageing transportation systems had a
negative effect, the proliferation of taxi ride apps make it easier for delegates to cross the Manhattan grid. In addition, larger multi-use campuses and projects are making it easier to stay, network and dine out all in one place. Tis year, New York has welcomed events as varied as the
Formula E Prix (electric-powered motor racing) and the United Nations Climate Week, to conferences on everything from cyber security and life sciences. Next year will be a big one for the LGBTQI market when New York hosts the first World Pride to take place in the USA, with a month- long calendar of celebrations that coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. From rainbows to robots, NYC is fast becoming a serious
stop-off for anyone working in AI as well as tech startups. Te city is home to the second-biggest startup scene on earth – Manhattan’s Silicon Alley – it handles the most 3D printing in the world, and there are raſts of new funds, accelerators and investments happening in every tech vertical from biotech to fintech.
