FAQ

How will the See NYC experience start?

Before kickoff, each attendee will be assigned to a small group that includes two “captains” (think facilitators) and added to WhatsApp group chats to guide you through our daily schedule — intimate sessions, larger community activities, and plenty of moments for fun.

Where is the home base of the event?

SEE NYC is an interactive experience across the city. At times, it is a group experience for all attendees; other times is “choose your own adventure” in smaller group settings.

Our 2026 home base (where all attendees will be required to stay for two nights during the festival) is TBA.

SEE NYC is a packed agenda, so attendees should dress for comfort and adventure! Think comfy shoes, daytime wear, and something fun for nighttime events.

Who Should Apply?

Mission-driven leaders, civic dreamers, and creative thinkers. This includes entrepreneurs, investors, artists, non-profit executive directors, intrapreneurs, and more. SEE NYC is a pilot program and will be limited to 150 attendees. 

Have you done this before?

SEE NYC launched in Fall of 2025, gathering 150 New Yorkers for three days across four boroughs. Since 2014, our parent company, Breakout, has hosted events in over 15 cities, including Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Miami, and Atlanta, gathering national changemakers.

How much do tickets cost?

Tickets start at $1,450. This includes attendees’ hotel accommodations, wellness activities, entertainment, food and drinks, and transportation to experiences.

While every attendee is based in New York City, lodging is required.

**As this is a sector-agnostic experience, we recognize applicants have a range of budgets. Our tickets are on a sliding scale, and we will do our best to accommodate the budget needs of accepted applicants.

What's the application process?

Apply to share more about yourself and to show your interest in joining SEE NYC. This gathering is as much about the New Yorkers who attend as it, as it is about the programming itself, so we're looking to learn about you, what you hope to learn, and what you can add to the group. Although we are limited in the number of attendees, SEE NYC hosts local events throughout the year. Contact us if you’d like to learn more!
