The New York Encounter (abbreviated NYE) is an annual three-day event held in New York City in January, usually on Martin Luther King's weekend. It is a cultural event organized by members of the Catholic movement Communion and Liberation, consisting of keynote talks, panel discussions, exhibitions, and artistic performances. The first edition was held in January 2009. The event is modeled after the annual week-long Meeting for Friendship Amongst Peoples in Rimini, Italy, which attracts high-profile intellectuals, scientists, politicians, and religious figures from all over the world. The NYE is free to attend, open to the public, and organized with the help of many young adult volunteers from all over the United States and Canada.
