Conference Venue

The venue will be the Sheraton LaGuardia East Hotel in Flushing, New York City. New York City is an international tourist destination, receiving 56 million tourists in 2014 alone. Several sources have ranked New York the most photographed city in the world. Times square, known as the city's heart, is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theatre district. The Statue of Liberty greets new arrivals to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and early 20th century, and is a globally recognized symbol of the United States. Flushing is associated by many with the National Tennis Centre, since Flushing Meadows has been the home of the US Open Grand Slam tennis tournament every year since 1978.

New York is the most populous city in the United States and one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. Situated in one of the world's largest natural harbours, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The conference hotel is situated in the Queens borough, just a two-minute walk from the Flushing-Main Street rail station. Direct train lines take you directly from there to Times Square in just over 45 minutes, which is fast for New York City. The Museum of Modern Art can be reached in under 40 mins, Grand Central Terminal in 40 mins, the Empire State Building under 50 mins, and The High Line Park in 50 minutes.

The hotel is also close to LaGuardia Airports and JFK. LaGuardia is just 3 miles away and the hotel offers a complementary shuttle service. John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is 10 miles away and can be reached within 30 minutes by taxi. The hotel is situated in a vibrant Asian district that offers a variety of Eastern cuisine, as well as many stores and shops.

Social Banquet

The conference banquet will take place at the World Fair Marina Restaurant & Banquet.
