Our conference venue, the Cornell Club of NYC, is located on 6 East 44th
Street, is less than two blocks from Grand Central Station in Manhattan, an
eight-minute walk from Times Square, and is easily reached by public
transportation. This setting puts the event in the heart of the sports media
world, within walking distance from many professional sports league
headquarters, network offices and studios, and global sports media and
marketing firms.

ACCOMMODATIONS
A small block of rooms will be reserved at the Cornell Club for those
wishing to stay at the conference site. Additionally, special conference
rates may be available with hotels near the conference site (please visit
http://www.communicationandsport.com  for updates). Attendees are also
welcomed and encouraged to seek their own hotel accommodations near the
conference site.

PRE-CONFERENCE
A pre-conference day will be held on March 14. This will include site visits
and a trip to the Barclays Center to watch college basketball and see the
nation's newest and hottest arena. Also scheduled for that evening is an
informal mixer sponsored by Taylor Public Relations
(http://taylorstrategy.com), where conference attendees can meet and greet
before commencing the next morning's academic sessions.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM
The academic program will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. Both
breakfast and lunch will be served at the Cornell Club to all paid
conference attendees, maintaining the collegial spirit of the conference and
allowing for keynote addresses during lunch. The conference will also bring
in panels and presentations from working professionals in sports media in
addition to the rich tradition of academic papers and panels. It's our hope
to truly create interactions between academics and the wealth of sports
professionals working in New York City. Attendees will have evenings free to
enjoy all that New York City has to offer, including shows, restaurants,
shopping, and sporting events. We will be providing tourist information to
all attendees in advance of the event.
