Albany Conventions & Meetings

Why Meeting Planners Love New York's Capital District!

Albany's location and access to an International Airport make the Capital District area a popular location for conventions, trade shows, and conferences. New York City is an easy commute by plane, train or car - as is Boston and Montreal. In addition, the Capital City's urban attractions, coupled with outlying suburban and rurl areas, ensure many great options that appeal to meeting planners and attendees alike!

No matter how small or how large an event, the Tri-City area of Albany, Troy and Schenectady encompasses all of the extras that savvy meeting planners look for. From large banquet facilities that seat several hundred participants to smaller rooms with flexible meeting space, it's all here. Lodging in Albany is plentiful, and there is ample public and private transportation. To keep event goers busy outside the meeting room, there are plenty of restaurants and pubs to accommodate every crowd at the end of a long day. Cultural attractions, museums and neighborhoods of galleries and boutiques allow for convention attendees and their guests to explore the city at their leisure.

Consider Albany NY for your next event! With the capacity to host numerous venues for any type or size gathering, numerous convention suppliers to choose from, a great location near larger metropolitan areas and Albany International Airport, the Capital District region is perfectly situated and fully prepared to make your next conference or meeting a success!
