New York DMC for Corporate Events, Incentive Travel & MICE Services
The Big Apple for Meetings and Incentives
This city is always in motion. The constant influx of new hotels, restaurants, off-site venues, and group activities makes the Big Apple a thrilling backdrop for meetings, conferences, and incentive groups of all kinds. The destination reaches far beneath the surface of New York, across all five boroughs.
Hundreds of direct daily flights to New York City’s three international airports make travel plans straightforward. The city offers five boroughs with hundreds of neighbourhoods for guests to explore, together with a staggering variety of historic and contemporary venues for everything from board meetings and sales trainings to galas, team-building sessions, and incentive trips.
With 200 languages spoken, more than 1,000 arts and culture institutions, and over 26,000 restaurants, New York delivers scale, diversity, and constant energy in one destination.

Our Team
Sean Kirkland - Global Sales
Sean has witnessed a dramatic evolution in destination management through his career of more than 25 years. That awareness, understanding, and experience makes him an indispensable resource to both Cohera and our clients as we build an understanding of each client's unique organization, culture, and objectives. Sean’s leadership ensures partnerships are tailored in a manner that inspires confidence, creates greater value, and effectively achieves our client’s goals. In his free time, you'll likely find "Coach" Sean on the field as an assistant coach to his children's various sports activities...but his Saturday mornings are quite often reserved for San Diego area 'Cars n' Coffee' events in his classic 1965 Austin Healey BJ8!
