Planning Small New York Meetings
When it comes to small meetings, imagination, organization and creativity count.
Since many companies aren't spending money for big, national meetings – largely because of accountability and compliance – the types of groups that book mini-gatherings vary from incentives to educational groups and executive retreats to general company meetings. That makes first-class, intimate hotels such as the Jumeirah Essex House an attractive location for New York meetings.
The pros and cons of planning small New York meetings are just as varied as the types of meeting that can be planned – while the prospects for success are tremendous.
One of the advantages of a small group is that there is an opportunity to meet and talk to everybody. The interaction and networking is enhanced, and attendees are more likely to make connections with their peers.
At the AAA Four-Diamond Jumeirah Essex House – a recipient of Michelin Guide’s highest rating of five ‘Pavilions’ as well as North America’s Leading Hotel at the 2007 World Travel Awards, voted by travel agents worldwide – the New York meeting hotel's 'Petit Salon' provides a intimate setting and accommodates up to 250 guests. In all, it offers a total of 11,610 sq. ft. of flexible space for New York meetings.
What’s more, the Jumeirah Essex House is located at the very heart of Manhattan’s vibrant, non-stop cultural, business and social life, adding a component of glitz and glamour to your New York meetings.
So when you’re planning a small meeting in New York, consider an intimate location like the Jumeirah Essex House for the kind of meeting that spells success.
