An Iconic Venue
The 2026 User Conference will take place at the legendary TWA Hotel. Located at JFK Airport, the TWA Hotel blends historic aviation heritage with modern design, immersive spaces and runway views - the perfect setting for conversations about the future of the aviation industry.
The conference and evening networking will take place at the TWA hotel, located at JFK airport. The commute into Manhattan can be time consuming via taxi or train so our recommendation is to stay at the TWA.
