NYC Tri-State Destination Management

Destination Management Across New York City, New Jersey & Connecticut

New York City's longest independently and locally owned Destination Management Company didn't earn that title by staying in one borough. Empire Force Events is a Hosts Global member with connections to 450+ destinations worldwide, and for over 40 years we've been the real deal for corporate clients, incentive travel buyers, and meeting planners across New York City, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Wherever your group lands in the Tri-State, we already know the room, the players, and how to get it done. That's the Empire Way.

New York City

This is where it all started, and it's still home base. We produce corporate events, galas, conferences, incentive programs, and team building experiences across all five boroughs — because "New York City" was never just short for Manhattan.

Iconic Venues. We've thrown down at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ellis Island, Rockefeller Center, The Plaza Hotel, Times Square, and New York Harbor. We hold preferred DMC status at the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island, Hilton NY, Lotte NY Palace, and Marriott Marquis — the kind of access you only get after decades of showing up and doing right by people.

City Logistics, Handled. NYPD coordination. Street closure permits. Ferry authorizations. Union labor. Loading dock scheduling in Midtown at rush hour. This is the stuff that stops an out-of-town planner cold. For us, it's Tuesday.

Beyond Manhattan. Brooklyn's waterfront venues. Queens' cultural institutions. The industrial-chic spaces that have redefined New York event design over the last decade. If it's one of the five boroughs, we've probably already got a relationship there.

New Jersey

New Jersey gives planners something Manhattan can't always promise: room to breathe, without giving up the skyline. We produce corporate events, conferences, incentive programs, and team building experiences across the state, bringing four decades of Tri-State know-how to every job.

Why Planners Choose New Jersey. Bigger venues. Easier logistics. Parking that doesn't require a small miracle. Newark Liberty right there when your group needs to fly in and out without the hassle. When a program needs scale, or a budget needs some room, New Jersey earns its keep — with Manhattan still close enough to use as a backdrop.

What We Handle in New Jersey. Venue sourcing and negotiation. Event design and production. Ground transportation and airport transfers. Entertainment and show direction. Culinary management. Team building and offsite experiences. Guest services. Same full-service destination management we run in New York City — just with more elbow room.

Connecticut

Connecticut is where New York companies go when they want the meeting to actually feel like it left the office. We produce corporate events, executive offsites, incentive programs, and team building experiences across the state — the same 40-plus years of Tri-State expertise, aimed at a slower, more focused kind of program.

Why Planners Choose Connecticut. Distance without a flight. Connecticut puts real air between your team and the inbox — which makes it a natural home for executive retreats, leadership offsites, board meetings, and the multi-day programs where focus matters more than spectacle.

What We Handle in Connecticut. Venue and property sourcing. Multi-day program design. Ground transportation from New York City and area airports. Team building and offsite experiences. Culinary and hospitality management. Meeting logistics, from room blocks to AV to scripting the whole thing start to finish.

Wherever You Are

New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut are home turf. But planners don't always start there — they start with a company, a date, and a group that needs to land somewhere. As a Hosts Global member, Empire Force Events has connections to 450+ destinations worldwide, so if your program is headed outside the Tri-State, we can still get you the right local partner and stay in the room for it.

You don't have to know your destination yet. You just have to know who to call.

We've been doing this for over 40 years, and we've been Empire Force Events since 1994 — audacious enough to say yes to the hard ones, and grounded enough in this region to actually pull them off. Wherever your group is landing — NYC, New Jersey, or Connecticut — we've already got the relationships in place.
