The Westin Jersey City Newport
On this page: Venue address | Hotel booking | Getting there
QCon AI New York 2026 is held at the Westin Jersey City Newport, on the Hudson River directly across from Lower Manhattan. Rooms and event space look out at the skyline, the view you don't get from inside the city.
Manhattan is close. The Newport PATH station is a 3-minute walk from the hotel lobby, one stop and about 5 minutes to the World Trade Center. By car it's about 15 minutes into Manhattan, through the Holland Tunnel to downtown or the Lincoln Tunnel to Midtown.
The conference and your hotel room are in the same building. No commute between sessions and check-in, and the conversations continue in the lobby after the last talk.

Address: 479 Washington Boulevard, Jersey City, NJ 07310
