NYC Seminar & Conference Center rents seminar rooms, meeting rooms and event halls on the third floor of 114 West 26th Street, in Manhattan's Flatiron district. Nine flexible rooms and a break area take groups from 6 to 200 people, and the largest hall covers about 2,300 square feet.
Seminars and company events
This is a meeting-first venue, and the official site presents it as an alternative to hotel conference centers. It says it has hosted thousands of seminars, meetings and training events and has served clients in the area for more than 20 years. Layouts include auditorium, classroom and conference styles.
Each room has a large-screen TV and a whiteboard. Flip charts and projectors can be added. Wired and wireless connectivity runs on a high-speed fiber network. For hybrid meetings, the center rents laptops, webcams, microphones and speakers, and supports Zoom sessions. Tech and AV support is part of the offer.
The center also operates an upscale satellite site in SoHo for premium events. Organizers should ask the sales team how the two sites differ in capacity and setup.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not market weddings. The center is built for business use, and this page does not list it as a wedding venue.
Rooms and capacities
The center lists 10 space combinations of varying sizes.
Event Halls range from 800 to 1,500 square feet, and up to about 2,300 square feet in certain combinations. The 2,300 square foot flexible hall holds up to 200 people in all the popular configurations, and extra space nearby can serve breakouts, catering, networking and exhibitors. The halls are formed by combining rooms: Event Hall 1 joins Seminar Room D and Meeting Room 1, Event Hall 2 joins Seminar Rooms A and D and Meeting Room 1, Event Hall 3 joins Seminar Rooms A, B and D and Meeting Room 1, and Event Hall 4 joins Seminar Rooms A and D.
Seminar Rooms (A, B, C and D) run from 500 to 800 square feet. They suit groups of 15 to 20, 30 to 40 and 45 to 60, depending on the room. Meeting Rooms 1 and 2, and Conference Rooms 1 and 2, run from 200 to 500 square feet. They are sized for groups of 8 to 10, 12 to 15 and 15 to 20, in boardroom and other common configurations.
Catering
Catering is provided in partnership with neighborhood vendors. Both value and premium options are offered, and the sales team can match the menu to the budget. Each room includes setup and cleanup, and small refrigerators.
History and setting
The center sits in the Delta Building, in the Flatiron, NoMad and Chelsea corridor of Manhattan. The area is close to Madison Square Park, the High Line and Union Square, so a meeting day can be paired with a walk or a dinner nearby. The center publishes its own neighborhood guides covering cultural sites, parks, restaurants and hotels, and a satellite SoHo site for premium events.
Getting there
The center is walking distance from the 1, C, E, F, M, R and W subway lines and from Penn Station. The address is 114 West 26th Street, third floor. The site has separate pages for hotels and parking near the center.
