When you arrive and depart New York City is totally up to you, but here are some key considerations to keep in mind:
when doors open and close
The exact timing of the conference is yet to come, but doors will open sometime around 9:00 am on Thursday, October 22. The conference ends sometime around 5:30 pm on Friday, October 23.
Use the times above as a general guideline for your planning until exact details are confirmed.
