We’re on a mission to gather New Yorkers building the city’s future
May 13–15, 2026
See NYC is a multiday summer camp-style gathering designed for New York Leaders.
See NYC is a place to learn about the city from new perspectives, build meaningful relationships, and spotlight New York’s genius through experiential programming. Over three days and two nights, attendees connect with the creativity and ingenuity that shape the city.
Instead of standard panels, See NYC invites attendees to explore the city through bespoke site visits, dinner parties, fireside chats across the boroughs — with an emphasis on in-depth conversations and a renewed sense of awe for New York and its communities.
Daily programming weaves across the city, but See NYC is a staycation, requiring all participants to stay on-site at our home base.
Check out our frequently asked questions and last year’s agenda.
Testimonials
“One of the most powerful things about my experience at See NYC was how genuinely welcomed I felt, treated with such respect and human dignity from the very start. It was truly amazing to witness what people are doing together in the city; there was something almost angelic about the energy and spirit of collaboration.”
Deborah Aviles, Mott Haven Houses Resident Leader
“Being reminded about the ingenuity within NYC was much needed. I often seek outside NYC for ideas to avoid being in an echo chamber, and this was a much-needed jolt to interact more with the city that we love so much.”
Vic Lee, Co-Founder of Welcome to Chinatown
“Next year will be my twentieth year in the city, and yet, in over two decades, I hadn’t heard of many of the inspiring organizations or visited the incredible communities we had a chance to experience over just three short days. See NYC was a reminder that every day across NYC, there are good things being done by good people if we only take a little time to see them.”
Aaron Kinnari, Founder of The Future Forum
