Itinerary Overview

October 1 - 4

About

The NYC Study Tour itinerary is designed to comfortably move the delegates between experiences with plenty of opportunities to absorb the surroundings, hear from subject-matter experts, and build relationships through shared experiences. Day 1 is structured as a travel day to help the delegates overcome the jet lag and three-hour time difference. Day 2 and Day 3 are programed with activities from morning to late afternoon. Those long days are capped off with receptions for the delegates to unwind and reflect on their experiences. Day 3 is when the group dinner occurs. The Day 4 morning includes a series of walking tours and a takeaways session to end the Study Tour.
