New York, New York
New York City will be an inspiring and dazzling backdrop for the 2010 conference. Conference participants will have the opportunity to explore the city to see change in action and enjoy famous entertainment venues for special events. The conference will be held in the combination of two hotels in close proximity to Times Square:

Hilton New York
1335 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10019

Sheraton New York and Towers
811 Seventh Avenue at 52nd St. New York, NY 10019

Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, Broadway, MoMa and a multitude of shopping venues are steps away from both hotels. The conference conveners have secured hotel rooms at amazingly reduced rates that will be available through the conference registration system that opens in early spring.
