No, the ticket includes access to the LWTSUMMIT only.

The event centers around Pier 17 on New York City’s East River,  which is 14.1 miles from the LaGuardia Airport. If flying in from the JFK airport, Pier 17 is 26.7 miles away.

The Rooftop at Pier 17’s prime location in Lower Manhattan puts you at the heart of the action, with many accommodation options waiting to welcome you. Within a walkable radius (roughly 3 miles), you’ll find a dazzling array of hotels to suit every taste and budget, from luxe lofts to charming boutique havens. But remember to explore across the Hudson! New Jersey also offers enticing possibilities, with hotels boasting convenient access to the PATH train, which whisks you directly to Lower Manhattan in a flash. From there, a quick subway hop lands you at Pier 17’s doorstep!

We’re committed to making our Summits as inclusive as possible. We will have closed captioning for most virtual sessions using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers.
