As a commercial video production and photography company, we have the opportunity to work with companies and organizations across the Northeast (and beyond) who organize small to large conferences, conventions, and networking events in our area of Upstate New York. Conference planning is a big undertaking, and choosing the right location with the exact amenities your organization needs is key. Here are some popular corporate event venues in New York’s Capital Region that you can add to your research list when planning your next conference or commercial event.
Please note that as a media company we are only involved with day-of video/photo production and do NOT have direct experience coordinating conferences and events through these venues, so we can only provide these sites as a jumping off point to add to your potential options list.
