On July 31st, 2024 (following the pre-conference workshops and the evening before main sessions being) all conference attendees are encouraged to get acquainted with New York City and one another at an outdoor, quintessentially New York venue: Baylander Steel Beach on the Hudson. Come aboard this ship and enjoy drinks and food on the water alongside your conference peers. This outdoor location is walking distance from The City College of New York conference/workshop location. Attendees are responsible for their own food and drinks.
