Discover Long Island

Why Long Island?

Just across the bridges of New York City, Long Island offers visitors a memorable experience. This beachfront backyard is a 120-mile-long fish-shaped island. Long Island is a year-round destination offering not only sparkling beaches, but also, iconic sites, quaint downtowns, world-renowned wine country, and luxurious properties. Whether you have a group of 10 or 1,000 with more than 18,000 hotel rooms and 1.5 million square feet of meeting space, Long Island has an array of options. Long Island is accessible by 3 major airports, ISP, JFK, and LGA including direct service to many U.S. cities. A wide variety of post-meeting activities await your group. Adventure seekers can climb to the top of the many storied lighthouses or venture out on a hike through the 300-year-old Sunken Forest. World-class golf courses, surfing hot spots and ultimate fishing are just a few of the open-air activities available for a day outing. Book a private dinner at one of Long Island’s 30 wineries offering farm-to-table fare, a magnificent castle or a historical “Great Gatsby” style mansion once owned by some of America’s wealthiest families.
