Yes, I am pretty spoiled. I live 30 miles West of Times Square. Morris County New Jersey. There are 55M+ people living, learning, working, playing, teaching, training, coaching, mentoring in the New York Megalopolis.
I can jump on the bus (or train) from BOONTON USA and be in The Big Apple in less than an hour, working from my laptop the entire time.
Next month we are in Orlando (LIVE) with InfoComm. And throughout the year, there are always 'events' in Las Vegas, or even in Europe. But the ability to be in New York City in less than an hour is something that I should not be taking for granted.
If you (or your school or your organization) is going to host a meeting or hybrid event, please consider NYC.
And you should JoinNYDLA.org and access CONVENE NYC - it's a NYDLA member benefit!
