As the program theme of “Bright
Lights, Big Ideas” portends, the
move of I-3 to the Westin also
places our guests in the middle of
all New York City has to offer. The
Westin sits within walking distance
of Broadway and Madison Square
Garden. From “The Great Gatsby”
and “Buena Vista Social Club” to
“Wicked” and “The Lion King”,
the shows opening on Broadway
in November offer something
for everyone, to say nothing of
I-3 is synonymous
with a meeting
ground; a place that
brings together
insurance industry
and law firm thought
leaders to discuss the
latest developments,
issues and trends.
I-3 will also allow for additional
opportunities for attendees to meet
to discuss issues in the industry or
simply catch-up with colleagues.
I-3 will include a reception on
Wednesday and Thursday nights
before dining with friends and
colleagues.
Join your friends and colleagues
for the preeminent insurance
conference of 2025 to stay on top of
the developments and changes in
the industry. Join the FDCC in New
York City to experience everything
that it has to offer. Register today!
the concerts and specials at “The
Garden.” Registration will be open
soon – but you can save the dates
and book your tickets to see the best
theatre and musicals in the country.
The Westin is also a short ride (or
longer walk) from New York City
landmarks including Central Park,
the MoMA, the “Met”, the American
Museum of Natural History, the
Guggenheim, the Morgan Library
and Museum, the Cloisters and
more.
Of course, Manhattan is renowned
for its restaurants and conference
attendees will have the option
of joining scheduled restaurant
dine-arounds with colleagues or
venturing out to an old or new
favorite dining spot.
