Jacob K. Javits Convention Center

The Javits Center is more than just a convention center. Named after the legendary and lifelong New Yorker, Senator Jacob K. Javits, this self-sustaining New York icon has become a wildlife sanctuary, a community partner, and a nationwide nexus where the latest ideas in business and pop culture converge under one very green roof. With a significant investment in our infrastructure, it has quickly become a leader in sustainability, security, and technology, setting a new standard for convention centers throughout the country.

Where else in the world can you find 850,000 square feet of exhibition space, industry-leading services, and top-of-the-line amenities—all under a giant green roof and a one-acre rooftop farm? Whether it’s a product launch or a movie premiere, attending an event at the expanded Javits Center is itself an event. The six-block convention center is the crown jewel of the pulsating, resurgent new West Side neighborhood—now transformed with the Hudson River Park, Hudson Yards, and the High Line. And thanks to the new 7 Subway line extension across the street, all the excitement is closer than you ever imagined.
