About the Venue
Located on an historic 100-acre estate overlooking Lake Myosotis in Rensselaerville, New York, the Carey Conference Center combines a 50-year tradition of superior group hospitality with 21st century convenience and technology. From our world-class food and inviting guest rooms to our professional, friendly staff and the natural beauty of our surroundings, the Carey Conference Center offers far more than what you may be used to.
The Carey Conference Center is perfect for weddings, reunions, holiday parties and other special events. Our Carriage House Restaurant seats 110 guests and is an intimate setting for any celebration. Click here for property video.
This special retreat includes:
- Light dinner at the Carriage House Restaurant 7:00 p.m. Friday (cash bar available)
- Overnight lodging on Friday night, March 22nd for attendees, sorry no family or guests this time.
- Saturday morning coffee-tea in Guggenheim Pavilion
- Saturday "wedding style" luncheon buffet at Carriage House Restaurant
- Saturday afternoon dessert, tea and coffee at Guggenheim Pavilion
Attendees contact Amtrak on their own to schedule and to pay for their own Amtrak transportation to Albany-Renssalear (not "Albany") station prior to 5:00 p.m. Friday, March 22nd. The Carey Conference Center will provide one complimentary shuttle run to and from the Albany-Renssalear Amtrak station for ABC seminar attendees.
-
On Friday, March 22, at 5:00 p.m., the Carey Conference Center shuttle will pick up attendees at the “Albany-Renssalear” Amtrak station (make sure it is this one, not “Albany”). The shuttle driver will greet attendees at the train station holding a sign:“Carey Conference Center.” Attendees will ride the shuttle and arrive in time for dinner at the Carey Conference Center which will begin around 7:00 p.m.
-
On Saturday, March 23 at 5:00 p.m. (the seminar ends at 4:30pm), the shuttle will leave the Carey Conference Center and bring all attendees to the “Albany-Renssalear” Amtrak station.The shuttle should arrive at the train station around 6:00 p.m.
Those are the only times for the complimentary shuttle so attendees should arrange for their own Amtrak arrival before 5:00 p.m. Friday, and departure after 6:00 p.m. Saturday.Taxi fare to/from the train station to Carey is about $108 one way, so, you’ll want to make sure that your schedule coincides with the free shuttle run to avoid having to pay for a taxi ride.
If you're arriving by train, please provide your arrival train and time along with your cell phone just in case we can't find you at the station.
The Carey Conference Center is located less than 30 miles southeast of Albany and is easily accessible by car, train, bus or plane. But let’s face it: if you’re looking for the hustle and bustle of city life, you won’t find it here. What you will find is nature – pure and simple – from the sweeping vistas of the Catskill and Helderberg Mountains to nearby Lake Myosotis and its magnificent waterfalls. Here, you’re more likely to hear the call of a heron than the blare of a siren. And our repeat visitors wouldn’t have it any other way. In fact, our guests cite our unique and “distraction-free” setting as one of our greatest attributes. We couldn’t agree more.
