Paulson Auditorium doors open at 6:00pm. Please arrive no later than 6:15pm so you may check-in and find a comfortable seat. The Program starts promptly at 6:30pm.

Wednesday, Oct. 27, is at Bloomberg LP, 731 Lexington Avenue. Please arrive by 8:40am.

Location: The Bloomberg Tower takes up most of the block, between E. 58th and E. 59th St and Lexington & 3rd Ave. A visitor’s entrance/ security may be accessed from the middle of the block on E. 58th St. Our Forum is being held in the 6th floor “meeting loft.”

A light breakfast will be served starting at 8:00am. Please arrive at Bloomberg with your photo ID no later than 8:40am, as it may take 15 minutes or more to be processed through security.

Once through security, you will take the elevator to the 6th floor and then turn right to take an escalator to the meeting room “loft.” Wednesday’s programming starts promptly at 9:00am.

Where to Stay? We have not blocked any rooms in NYC, as preferences and travel plans vary and the majority of our Forum attendees live in the metro NYC area. NYU-Stern is located in Greenwich Village, while Bloomberg LP is located in Midtown East. The Executive Ed program at NYU-Stern has suggested this list of hotels to its program participants. Other places you might consider include The Library Hotel (E. 41st and Madison), the Thompson Hotel on Columbus Circle (W. 58th and Columbus Circle), and The Carvi Hotel (E. 55th and Lexington).
