Greatest Convention Center in the State!

The Javits Convention Center is convenientially located in the heart of New York City. It host fashion events, business events, entertainment events.... anything you can think of!
I've been to Javits for several different events, and it's always a class act. Everything is clean and well-organized, and hotels and restaurants are everywhere nearby. There are numerous bathrooms, which is always an important factor.
The center sometimes hosts more than one event at a time, which can be confusing. It's definitely recommended for larger events rather than smaller events. I specifically went there for a ""hair-product expose,"" and it was superb. They had numerous booths, stages with speakers, a run-way with models with different ""hair looks."" The overall impression of Javits Center was cool, sophisticated, and glamorous.
Another down-side is that parking can be difficult for those who are driving in -- but that is a problem for anywhere that's actually in New York City.
Overall recommendation: Thumbs up! Love you Javits!

The Javits Center in Midtown is obviously quite famous. It's very convenient to several train lines and right in arguably what is the center of Manhattan. That said, it very much has a feel to it that reminds me of a giant convention center that may not be as personal as I'd like. I had a corporate event there not too long ago where we were holding a conference about real estate in New Jersey. The staff at Javits were quite nice and accommodating to our every need, but in the end the place had a very concrete and impersonal feel to it. That's really not the location's fault. I mean, the thing is made of concrete. We tried to decorate it as best as possible, but it the space just ended up seeming too huge.
The resources available at Javits were quite nice. They were able to provide everything we needed for a successful conference, from basic things like chairs and tables to information technology resources. We were able to get computer technicians to help us set up several Power Point presentations and they helped us walk through presentations beforehand.
My one complaint would be, however, that there's not much food in the area. Convenience stores, yes, but it's quite a hike to get any outside food. You have to walk quite a few blocks to even get to a gas station, and the selection there is quite poor. This might be done on purpose, so that you have to use their catering purposes, but if you're hosting something in New York for people who aren't usually in New York, the Javits Center could annoy them because they won't get to experience much of New York during their lunch hour.
