ERG Leaders and Program Managers from around the world are meeting at ERG-Land in NYC to shape the future of ERGs.
At Verbate, we have the pleasure and privilege of working with hundreds of ERG Leaders around the world. So, we get to live in what we affectionately call “ERG-Land” all day long. As we thought about the space we want to create with this conference, we wanted to bring everyone to a place of collective energy, inspiration and insights.
Immerse yourself in thought-provoking sessions tailored for ERG Leaders and Program Managers. Interactive workshops and expert panels will spark new ideas, provide actionable insights, and build connections.
Connect with peers from different industries and regions in dynamic networking sessions designed to foster shared insights, exchange strategies, and expand your professional circle.
Take part in memorable experiences, from professional headshots to appreciation events, all designed to celebrate you, recharge your energy, and create lasting connections with fellow ERG champions.
The New York City Center is Manhattan's first performing arts center. NYCC's mission centers accessibility, diversity and creativity, making it the perfect venue for ERG leaders to gather, connect, and be inspired.
We've secured a hotel room block and special conference attendee rate at the New York Hilton Midtown - a beautiful and comfortable hotel that's less than a 5 minute walk from the conference venue.
To secure your room and special pricing, follow this link to book your room via the Hilton Midtown booking portal. (The page should say "Verbate ERG-Land" at the top).
ERG-Land Conference attendees who use the link above will get the Midtown Hilton's upgraded City Single Room or Double Room at a special rate of $339/night. This special rate is bookable until June 7th or until we run out of rooms in our block, after which the special rate will no longer be available.
We recommend you plan to arrive on June 25th and check out on or after June 27th. We've negotiated that the special rate be available through the end of the weekend if you'd like to stay in NYC a bit longer!
Flight: If you're planning to fly in, we'd recommend that you fly into LGA or JFK - both are perfectly fine, but LGA is a bit closer to midtown Manhattan if all else is equal. Account for a ~40min Uber/Lyft from LGA to the hotel, or a ~60-75min Uber/Lyft from JFK depending on time of day.
Train: If you're based on the east coast, taking an Amtrak is also a great option. You'd take it from your local station to Penn Station, and then likely take a yellow cab or Uber/Lyft to the Hilton Midtown.
Subway: If you're staying at the Hilton Midtown, no need to get on the subway to commute to the conference. If staying elsewhere, the conference venue is a very short walk from the F and the NQRW train lines. This area is very dense with train stations, so we recommend using Google Maps to see what train lines work best for you.
The ERG Leadership Community & Foundational Training is where it all started for Verbate, and has quickly become the industry standard for supporting ERG Leaders throughout their journey. When an ERG Leader or PM gets a membership to the Community, they get a year's worth of access to both our Foundational Training (a 4-week, cohort-based training that gives them the skills they need to lead their group and a LinkedIn Certification), our calendar of cross-company networking sessions, workshops, and fireside chats, and our ever-growing resource library of templates, frameworks, and so much more.
This conference has a limited number of tickets. Since we expect to reach capacity, we recommend that you secure your tickets as soon as you're ready.
Once you've purchased your tickets, we'll email you with next steps including the process for assigning tickets to attendees when you're ready to do so.
