Life in the metropolitan #NYC area, from a certain point of view...
Keeping #meetings & #events local during #COVID19 can open up new experiences in oft overlooked places right in our own backyards. #eventprofs will find opportunities to break or meet in #green areas under #blue skies - for #business or #leisure - abound in #parks throughout #NewYork and nearby #NewJersey.

Looking up from the depths of the @wtc memorial pools, five years ago this week.
Here's to hoping that the hateful ideologies that led to the tragic events of #911 are one step closer to disappearing with the #peace accords brokered by the #USA between @israel and #Bahrain.

3,500 years of #glassart is on display at the @corningmuseum of #glass in #UpstateNewYork. In addition to #glassmaking exhibitions (image 2), its collections include pieces that span the millennia from ancient #Egypt (image 1), the #Greek & #Roman (image 4) empires, centuries of European glasswork through modern times, including contemporary #artists like #chihuly (image 3). The #museum has both indoor and outdoor spaces making it a versatile #venue for #meetings & #events.
.
The surrounding region has an abundance of natural beauty, is rich in #history, and is home to a broad array of facilities with wide open spaces, all within hours of #NYC. Groups may choose to extend their stays to take advantage of nearby #FingerLakes and #NewYork State #Parks that provide opportunities for #hiking, #biking, #fishing & #boating. Currently, the region is particularly ideal to avoid quarantine restrictions for in-state #meeting & #event planning as well as when post-#COVID19 planning resumes.

#FlashbackFriday to #Louisville, #Kentucky where #FandDmag covered the opening of the reimagined @kyconvention Center #KICCoff two years ago.
#eventprofs have found the city to be very #event friendly both inside the modernized facility and throughout the destination. In addition headquarter hotels - the @omnilou & @hyattlou - off-site venues include the #whiskey distilleries along the #urbanbourbontrail, @churchilldowns, the @speed_museum and @sluggernation factory & #museum to name but a few...

We sure didn’t expect to find it in a #StatenIsland corporate office complex. The #sculpture is one of many #art works on the properties of the #Nicotra Group, whose holdings include @nicotrasballroom, a premier site for #meetings and #events for #eventprofs whose groups @visitstatenisland.
On that note, the staff of #FandDmag extend sincere comgratulations to our former editorial intern Aryeh Korn on his marriage this week.

Please join us in wishing #congratulations and "hats off" to the #ClassOf2020, whose unique final semester will be one for the "books." Among the graduates are our photo-shy #FandDmag intern Aryeh - whose editorial assignments over the years have included stories on #Chicago, #NewOrleans, #Barcelona and #Iceland.
Part of his celebratory dinner included this special edition #chocolatechipcookie based #dessert, designed by @dessertsbydasi. . .

#FlashbackFriday to @pcmahq's #PCMACL in #SanFranc

#FlashbackFriday to @pcmahq's #PCMACL in #SanFrancisco, earlier this year at the newly expanded #FandDmag Prime Site Award-winning @mosconecenter. A great destination will often translate into higher attendance and longer stays in the region. Case in point: This amazing photograph was taken by @binyaminkornphotography, #cycling to Rodeo Beach in the @goldengatenps National Recreation Area, across the #GoldenGate Bridge in Marin County, post-event.
We're looking forward to #travel and #meeting again soon. Until then, wishing all #eventprofs and #meetingprofs a most pleasant #MemorialDay weekend. #staysafe!

The #flowers lining #NYC’s #ParkAvenue in our last photo reminded us of other walkways adorned with pre-winter flowers.
These photos were taken during our hike along #Switzerland’s @montreuxriviera, where we walked from #Montreaux to #Vevey spending as much time as we could along Lake Geneva. While the weather did not exactly cooperate - it was misty and rainy, and why are museums closed in Mondays? - we nevertheless found many more reasons to fall #inlovewithswitzerland. .

Much of the #energy of large cities like #NYC and #HongKong come from the diversity of the sheer volume of people that ensure that their city "never sleeps." .
Pausing at a crossing light on #NYC's #ParkAvenue malls provided a brief momentary break from the seemingly non-stop world of the workplace. While on this #COVID19 work from home "pause," we have to and urge others to make sure to stop and smell the coffee - or #flowers - and remember to #stayhealthy and #staysafe as we #stayhome.

We had plenty of room to qualify for #socialdistancing standards when #hiking through @brycecanyonnps back in September following @imex_group’s #IMEX19 in @vegas’ @sandsexpo.
. .
(Not too long ago, pre-#covid19 and when #wewillmeetagain,) a destination is often assessed on its nearby sites and attractions, in order to increase attendance. #eventprofs/ #meetingprofs will find a plethora of activities in #LasVegas and lots of #nature’s bounty within a few hours for those that can extend their stay. Just be in shape if you plan to trek through into the canyons... Getting back up (image 4) can take the wind out of you!

As we #stayathome, we can't help looking back both

As we #stayathome, we can't help looking back both at a peak peering out into the #Pacific Ocean and one of the scariest, most difficult drives of our lives...
.
In April 2018, during #FandDmag's @mauivisit, @googlemaps led us to the @hyattmaui via #Maui's Northern Loop Kahekili Highway 340, due to construction on the main road from the airport. The sites we saw will always be etched in our memories - from small villages surrounded by lush greenery to the #blue #ocean crashing into rocky beaches - however, the drive along the twisting "highway" was difficult, at times but one lane with oncoming traffic and no guard rails. A passing rainstorm made sections of the road slippery with mud sliding from the hillsides adding to the ride's degree of difficulty. (Ironically, we wished we had more time to #hike in some of the areas that provided us such a frightening experience in the car.) .
.
Eventually the road became more manageable; this lagoon and serene #beach were our first real sense of the #tropical #paradise that awaited us following the flight from the mainland. Maui is featured in the @imex_group section of the #Fall 2018 issue of Facilities & Destinations Magazine.

With #gmid20 @gmidgoesvirtual approaching tomorrow, the #COVID19 #stayathome order gives one a chance to recall how large the world is and the amazing sites there are to see.
.
After concluding a story assignment to @visitzurich for #FandDmag, we headed to the @jungfrauregion. There, following an excursion to the #Alpine peaks of @jungfraujochtopofeurope, we departed the train at, and hiked along trails outside of Kleine Scheidegg, taking in views and experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime. Wild flowers, flowing #greenery contrasted by towering mountains were expected as advertised, but one memory viewed from a safe distance was not something we read about: the sound of rumbling snowmelt from atop a the #mountain crashing into the valley below. .
